I can't figure out what's wrong with my PC! I'm quite new to Ubuntu.

I need to add android tools to the PATH variable so I add the following lines to .bashrc file:

PATH=${PATH}:/home/user/Program\ Files/android-sdks/platform-tools:/home/user/Program\ Files/android-sdks/tools

after that I run source .bashrc and when I run echo $PATH the android tools shows up in the $PATH variable.

But when I logout android tools are gone from the $PATH variable and I have to run source .bashrc to load them again there. Any ideas why is it happening?

  • can you edit your question to include the output of the command: echo $SHELL ?

Add this to your ~/.profile (or ~/.bash_profile, whichever is present):

source ~/.bashrc

    May I suggest [[ -r ~/.bashrc ]] && . ~/.bashrc instead ? Purely a personal preferences of course. :')
