So I want to add some code to my python path the code is located in $HOME/eon on my machine. I was told to add:
export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/test:$PYTHONPATH
export PATH=$HOME/test/bin:$PATH
to ~/.profile. However this does not work for me. When I type those two lines into the terminal I do add the test folder to my python path but only temporarily. I have also tried adding the two lines to my ~/.bashrc file but still no luck.
What you're doing works fine on my system, so it's possible you forgot to "tell the system" to use the new version ~/.bashrc
Here is the output from my terminal after adding your lines to my ~/.bashrc:
/home/amit/test/bin:/home/amit/test/bin:/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/home/amit/bin
The changes are not reflected. However, after
[amit@amit ~]$ source ~/.bashrc
I get:
[amit@amit ~]$ echo $PATH
/home/amit/test/bin:/home/amit/test/bin:/home/amit/test/bin:/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/home/amit/bin
~/.profilesource ~/.profile to make changes effective for the current bashIf you are still having problems, you can add echo 'hello world.' to your .bashrc and see if it prints it when you open a new terminal to see if your system runs .bashrc as it should be.
