editing .bashrc file

2

I finished installing Enthought's python EPD free, I got this note:

As the last step, you should edit your .bashrc or prepend
the EPD_free install path:

    /home/zed/epdfree/bin

Thank you for installing EPD_free!

how to edit my .bashrc and add that line?

you simply have to open up your bashrc file with nano ~/.bashrc. Add what you need to, and thats about it in this case

A more 'correct' way to do it would be to use echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/home/zed/epdfree/bin' >> ~/.bashrc

You can also edit ~/.bashrc with the text editor of your choice if you don't want to use nano. Eg mousepad ~/.bashrc will open it up in mousepad. – stib – 2012-11-18T12:45:55.347
