Path environmental variable on mac

Without $PATH: the existing path is overwritten with the new one. The disadvantage with this approach is that you modification to the path is lost when the terminal session ends. To add to the path for all users permanently you need to edit the paths file in /etc.  In terminal navigate to /etc. Type $ sudo pico paths Add your path. Type ^x (note: ^ = ctrl key).
