Add variable Path global

Hello,

I’m trying to add a variable in my PATH. I used this command :

export PATH=$PATH:/home/USERNAME/.local/share/gem/ruby/3.0.0/bin

This work but if I open a new terminal, the variable doesn’t work again. How it’s possible to add a variable globally on the system ?

Thanks

Since it references your user’s home directory, it’s probably not a good idea to add it globally to the PATH. You could put it in the .bashrc/.zshrc file, though.
