Making sure that /usr/local/bin is in my $PATH

I've been running into various issues with Node/NPM after upgrading to Catalina OS. Anyway, to make a long story short, I just went ahead and used the Node installer. Now at the end of the successful installation it adds this note:

Make sure that /usr/local/bin is in your $PATH.

I think this is my issue. Currently this is not the case on my machine. My simple question is: how do I do this? How do I make sure that /usr/local/bin is in my $PATH?

FYI, when I run echo $PATH I get this:

/Users/muirik/.npm-global/bin:/Users/muirik/.npm-global/bin:/Users/muirik/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.4/bin:/Users/muirik/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.4@global/bin:/Users/muirik/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.4/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/muirik/.rvm/bin:/usr/local/mongodb/bin

You could just add it there, e.g., in your .bash_profile, or .zshrc:

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:${PATH}
