How to permanently set environment variable in ubuntu? Can you give me some suggestions?

♦ Suggestions of ITtutoria Team
Idea for “permanently set environment variable in ubuntu”: If you wish it to remain in place for a specific user, then you can set it up in . bashrc for the user. If you would like to make the variable global to all users, in a permanent manner and then include it in the your /etc/environment directory.

Here is our case study:

#open terminal and type:
$ nano .bashrc
​
#scroll to the bottom of the script and type:
export <place variable name in here> = '<place variable value here>'
​
#e.g
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT='/home/<$USER>/Android/Sdk'
​
#once you,re finished typing in your variable hit Ctrl+X then press enter

  1. $EDITOR ~/.profile
#add lines at the bottom of the file: 
 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/lib
 export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64

  2. #Ubuntu 20.04: It's better to put $PATH at the beginning that way
#the new path environment variable being added will append to the old one.
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Android/Sdk/emulator' >> ~/.bashrc
​
#update current shell
source ~/.bashrc
