Making lasting changes

To make lasting changes to the value of an environment variable:

1. Use your editor to open the .bash_profile file and add the line:

   VARNAME=value_of_variable;export VARNAME

2. Save the file and leave the editor.

3. Enter the command:

   source $HOME/.bash_profile

This adds the new value to your working environment.
