Re: NCARG_ROOT

Hi Mary,

I am still not having much success.

I typed in env | grep SHELL and got

SHELL=/bin/bash

When I typed in ls -la ~/ I did see the .bashrc file.

Where within this .bashrc file though do I insert the NCARG_ROOT environment variable and the search path lines? Within the .bashrc file, does it matter where I insert the following lines:?

export NCARG_ROOT=~/Downloads

export PATH=$NCARG_ROOT/bin:$PATH

With best regards,

Dave

Hi Dave,

The files you edit depend on what shell you are running. Type:

env | grep SHELL

You should already have the file in your home directory. Type:

ls -la ~/

If you are running /usr/bash or /usr/ksh, then you may need to edit your

".profile" or ".login" or ".bashrc" file.

If you are running /usr/csh or /usr/tcsh, then look for ".cshrc" or

".tcshrc".
