Quick Tip: How To Set Environment Variables On Linux
Read Time:29 Sec
I ran into this the other day and need to make note of it so….
The commands used to set environment variables on Linux depends on the shell you use to interface with the operating system.
Below are 2 ways to set environment variables on Linux:
- (bash or ksh) –
export TEMP=/tmp - (csh or tcsh) –
setenv TEMP /tmp
Now that you’ve set the environment variable, how do you know it’s really set?
printenv will print all of the environment variables to your screen.
Hopefully that will help me remember how to set environment variables on Linux.
