DOTNET_ROOT Not Recognised After Raspbian Reboot

I have been following some basic tutorials for dotnet with Raspbian

They state:

export DOTNET_ROOT=$HOME/dotnet-arm32 
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dotnet-arm32

However, when I reboot these are lost. After some reading I found that adding PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dotnet-arm32 to my ~/.profile solved the dotnet command issue, but the DOTNET_ROOT does not work. I have to run export DOTNET_ROOT=$HOME/dotnet-arm32 once I've rebooted to get a project to run.

This is what my ~/.profile looks like at the bottom of the file.

# set PATH to dotnet
PATH="$PATH:$HOME/dotnet-arm32"

# set ENV for runtime
DOTNET_ROOT="$HOME/dotnet-arm32"

You need to export the variables:

# set PATH to dotnet
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/dotnet-arm32"

# set ENV for runtime
export DOTNET_ROOT="$HOME/dotnet-arm32"

PATH was already an exported variable, so not exporting it doesn't make a difference. But DOTNET_ROOT is treated as a local variable in .profile unless it's exported explicitly.
