Issue
I was trying to install Sencha Touch SDK tools 2.0.0 but could not run it properly. It created an entry in the $PATH variable. Later I deleted the sencha sdk tools folder but didn't realize that the path variable is still there.
When i did echo $PATH
I got -
/Applications/SenchaSDKTools-2.0.0-beta3:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin
I searched on how to remove variables from $PATH and followed these steps :
- Gave the command
PATH="/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin"
- Did
echo $PATH
which showed/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin
- gave the command
export PATH
- Closed terminal and reopened it. Gave the command
echo $PATH
. This time I got/Applications/SenchaSDKTools-2.0.0-beta3:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin
Can anyone tell me what am i doing wrong?
Solution
What you're doing is valid for the current session (limited to the terminal that you're working in). You need to persist those changes. Consider adding commands in steps 1-3 above to your ${HOME}/.bashrc
