adding ~/bin directory in your path [closed]

Question

I need to add ~/bin directory in your path.

But I am not sure what the actual command for this is, I know it goes in my .bash_profile

Does anyone know this, or a tutorial on how to set up a new .bash_profile for a terminal on a new mac (UNIX)

Answer 1

Add this to .bash_profile:

export PATH="$PATH":~/bin

If you don't have a .bash_profile, just create it.
