unix PATH environment variable edit

Question

My PATH environment variable right now is:

./subTmp:/usr/local/bin

How do I remove the ./subTmp part from it?

Thanks.

Answer 1

The details vary a bit by installation and by local custom, but generally you have a file named either .profile, .login, or .bashrc in your home directory that contains a line something like

PATH = ./subTmp:/usr/local/bin

Just edit it to be whatever you need.

Answer 2

this should do

export PATH=/usr/local/bin
