I executed this command from terminal:
export PATH=/home/ravinder/Java_Folder/Important_Programs/Servers/apache-maven-3.2.2/bin
So this is the only directory in my $PATH
, I want to restore my path to default.
The default PATH is /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games
.
If you want to add something to the path, do: export PATH=something:$PATH
so the original PATH is retained.
/etc/environment
. Just do export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games
and you're good to go. Alternatively, reboot.
~/.profile
or ~/.bashrc
or /etc/environment
or /etc/bash.bashrc
? What happens if you explicitly put the export command I gave above at the bottom of ~/.profile
and reboot?
I opened the ~/.bashrc
file in gedit and pasted the following code at the the end of file
export PATH=/home/ravinder/Java_Folder/Important_Programs/Servers/apache-maven-3.2.2/bin:${PATH}
And it worked.
putting it before any other environment variables settings, it didn't work.
