installing grails in linux

Question

I am new to using Linux. I installed grails by setting env variable GRAILS_HOME and added ot to PATH variable. I also exported both and when I typed in grails command.. It worked fine. When I closed that terminal session and opened a another new session, all the env variables that I had set up has all gone.

I was wondering how to have them available for all sessions.

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

Edit the .bashrc file of the user launching Grails.

Add the same lines as your commands:

GRAILS_HOME=/home/of/grails

export GRAILS_HOME

PATH=$PATH:$GRAILS_HOME/bin
