Edit your PATH environment variable in Mac OS X

I am fairly new to this environment, and if things are not done automatically I easily get lost.

Editing the PATH environment variable on Windows (Vista for this case) would be straightforward for me: right click computer - select properties - change settings - find environment variables button under advanced tab - here you go.

It is (of course) something similar in Mac OS X. At least they have the same terminology :)

open the file "~/.profile" with a text editor - add one more export line, making sure you copy & paste from the existing line properly :)


That's all!
