A good answer would include a simple explanation of what environment variables and especially path mean to the os, as well as simple guidelines on how to set and read them accordingly. What does / , ./, ./ represent while giving path?let's be precise /is a path which begins with a /, and thus it is an absolute path Thus, we need to begin in the root of the file system and navigate through the folders given by name, whereas the names are separated by /s (because this is the unix path separator) Thus, / is the root of the file system with no folders entered after. There aren't many guides available on adding a folder to the windows 11 user path environment variable
This is useful for new programmers to be able to easily run code using command prompt If you put your path in.profile it will be available to your complete desktop session. It depends on the shell you're using On solaris (i know the question is about linux) one of the shells (can't remember which one off the top of my head) requires that you do the export separately from setting the value in a script So i've just gotten into the habit of doing it on 2 lines. What does the ~ mean in an absolute file path
What are path and other environment variables, and how can i set or use them I want to get rid of it, but i can't find the place where they are defined My current %path% variable seems to be a concatenation of In windows 7, when i start the command prompt, is there any command to display the contents of an environment variable (such as the java_home or path variables)? I want to add a directory to search my search path I know i have to modify the path environment variable
However, i want the change to be permanent, so that it is always in effect, for every term. The answer is this command Echo %path:;=&echo.% now i wonder how this works.
