How do I add /new/dir to the PATH variable such that it will look for executables in that directory before any others and how do I make that change permanent in my bash shell?

Output

**To add /new/dir to the beginning of the PATH variable, run the following command:**

**To make this change permanent in your bash shell, add the line below to your ~/.bashrc file:** After adding the line to your ~/.bashrc file, run the following command to reload your bash configuration: **Explanation:** * The `PATH` variable is an environment variable that tells your shell where to look for executable programs. * The `export` command makes the changes to the `PATH` variable persistent across all child processes. * Prepending `/new/dir` to the `PATH` means that your shell will look for executables in that directory first, before searching any other directories in the `PATH`. * The `~/.bashrc` file is a bash configuration file that is executed every time you open a new bash shell. Adding the line to this file ensures that the `PATH` change is applied every time you open a new shell.

**To add `/new/dir` to the PATH variable**: 1. Open a terminal window. 2. Run the following command:

This will add `/new/dir` to the front of the PATH variable, so it will be searched before any other directories for executables. **To make the change permanent**: 1. Edit your `.bashrc` file in your home directory. 2. Add the following line to the end of the file: 3. Save and close the file. 4. Exit and restart your shell to apply the changes. **Note:** This will only affect the current user. To make the change permanent for all users, you will need to edit the system-wide configuration file `/etc/profile`. However, this is not recommended unless you are an administrator.

This command adds `/new/dir` to the beginning of the `PATH` variable, giving it the highest search priority. **Make the Change Permanent** To make this change permanent for your bash shell, add it to your shell configuration file, which is typically `.bashrc` or `.bash_profile`. **1. Open your shell configuration file:** or **2. Add the following line to the bottom of the file:** **3. Save and close the file.** **4. Source the file to apply the changes:** or **Restart your shell** to ensure that the changes take effect. **Verify the Changes** To verify that the changes have been applied, run the following command: The output should show `/new/dir` as the first entry in the `PATH` variable.
