like this:


Code:
--------------------
    PATH=$PATH:~/bin
--------------------
 



To make it permanent, you should add this line to .bashrc, which is in
your ~!



EDIT: About Steve's post: I have a ~/bin folder and .bash_profile
didn't add ~/bin to the folder. However, .bash_profile is there and has
the code, it just isnt being executed:




Code:
--------------------
    # set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists

  if [ -d ~/bin ] ; then

  PATH=~/bin:"${PATH}"

  fi
--------------------
