A simple guide is now available for configuring the PATH variable on Win 10, Mac OSX and Linux systems.
A path is the name of a file's directory, which specifies a unique location in a file system. Whereas, the PATH system variable ($PATH
), specifies a set of directories where executable programs are located. This allows software applications to access commonly executed programs.
There are different methods for modifying the ($
)PATH
variable on various operating systems. The directions in our new tutorial are based on the most common methods for each operating system. For more information, just use your favorite search engine with the keywords: path system variable
along with <the name of the OS you are working on>
