Adding directories to the Mac OS X PATH variable
by Keito Uchiyama

This tutorial shows you how to add directories to your Mac OS X PATH variable.

Open the Terminal application. It can be found in the Utilities directory inside the Applications directory.
Type the following: echo 'export PATH=YOURPATHHERE:$PATH'>> ~/.profile, replacing "YOURPATHHERE" with the name of the directory you want to add. Make certain that you use ">>" instead of one ">".
Hit Enter.
Close the Terminal and reopen. Your new Terminal session should now use the new PATH.
