I am a novice, who is new to Linux and I am trying to set GROOVY_HOME environment variable. Note sure if this is the right step:

GROOVY_HOME='/usr/share/groovy'

Also trying to add $GROOVY_HOME/bin to my $PATH environment variable, but I am not too sure on how to do this. Any ideas/steps on what to do would be appreciated.

  • How you installed groovy? via .deb file or how?

Create the file /etc/profile.d/groovy.sh by opening a terminal window and running this command:

sudo -H gedit /etc/profile.d/groovy.sh

Give the file this contents:

export GROOVY_HOME=/usr/share/groovy
PATH="$PATH:$GROOVY_HOME/bin"

Then save, log out and log in again.

  • I have just tried the above step, but do encounter this: Sudo:unable to change to root gid: operation not permitted and also sudo: unable to initialise policy plug-in

  • @DonOntime: I assumed you were logged in as a user with admin privileges. If you are logged in as root you can skip the sudo -H part. Otherwise you need to switch to an admin user account. Oct 10, 2016 at 8:26
