[ncl-install] NCARG_ROOT

[dknollhoff at gvtc.com]

Hi Mary, 



I am still not having much success. 



I typed in env | grep SHELL and got 



SHELL=/bin/bash 



When I typed in ls -la ~/ I did see the .bashrc file. 



Where within this .bashrc file though do I insert the NCARG_ROOT environment variable and the search path lines? Within the .bashrc file, does it matter where I insert the following lines:? 



export NCARG_ROOT=~/Downloads 

export PATH=$NCARG_ROOT/bin:$PATH 



With best regards, 



Dave

Hi Dave, 



The files you edit depend on what shell you are running. Type: 



env | grep SHELL 



You should already have the file in your home directory. Type: 



ls -la ~/ 





If you are running /usr/bash or /usr/ksh, then you may need to edit your 

".profile" or ".login" or ".bashrc" file. 



If you are running /usr/csh or /usr/tcsh, then look for ".cshrc" or 

".tcshrc".
