Look in the manual for whatever shell you are using. If you're using the
default, it's probably bash on Linux. Look in your home directory for
'.bash_profile' (note leading period in filename). Open it in a text editor,
and look for a line that looks like "PATH=$PATH:, etc" and add your new path
to the line, separating each path with a colon.
Also, read up on bash, especially customization. There are lots of cool
things you can do. Remember-- the shell is your friend!
