MacOS Terminal is not showing any $PATH


MacOS Terminal is not showing any $PATH



no bash command was working in my terminal, so I tried to reset my $PATH and somehow screwed it up more. Any help!


-bash: export: `/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin/': not a valid identifier
Roopalis-MacBook-Air:~ roopa$
Roopalis-MacBook-Air:~ roopa$ echo $PATH

Roopalis-MacBook-Air:~ roopa$
Roopalis-MacBook-Air:~ roopa$





Try this: export PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin/

Unfortunately, the problem continues to exists. I closed the terminal and reopened it and got the same problem. :(

Because you have to add it in your .bash_profile (in your home directory). Then it will be permanent.

Try adding the path in .bash_profile:


.bash_profile


PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin/
export PATH





PATH is already set by a system configuration file; you can update the value in your local configuration, but you should not overwrite it.
