Type sudo vi /etc/launchd.conf (note: this file might not yet exist) Put contents like the following into the file. # Set environment variables here so they are available globally to all apps. # (and Terminal), including those launched via Spotlight. #. # After editing this file run the following command from the terminal to update.
OSX has had only one change re environment variables and that was in Lion where ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist was removed. Although there also has been a change in the default shell in 10.2 or 10.3 from tsch to bash. You need to define what you want the enviroment variable set for and what environment you have.
2. This depends on the shell which you are using. For Big Sur, the standard shell is zsh, which might explain why .bashrc and other bash-related configuration files did not work. If you want to set environment variables for your account in zsh, try to create a ~/.zshenv file and put the variable declarations there.
You can set the environment variable with macenv set, for example: macenv set JAVA_HOME /path/to/java/home Under the hood, it calls launchctl setenv to set the environment variables, saves the environment variables to ~/.launchd.conf at the same time, and registers an auto-start service to load the environment variables when the OS restarts.
4. Alternatively, you can also add the following command to your .bash_profile if you want your environment variables to be visible by graphic applications. In Mac OS X, graphic applications do not inherit your .bash_profile config : launchctl setenv MYPATH myvar. edited Aug 10, 2017 at 19:36. answered Aug 4, 2017 at 21:46.
If you are setting up the ANDROID_HOME environment variable on macOS Catalina, .bash_profile is no longer Apple's default shell, and it won't persist your path variables. Use .zprofile instead and follow the environment setup instructions in react-native documentation or others. .bash_profile will keep creating new file which won't make the ...
Starting with macOS Catalina -- by default it takes zsh and hence you need to change in zprofile. Please follow below steps. Launch Terminal app. Create profile file: touch ~/.zprofile. Open file in editor: open ~/.zprofile. Add any exports definitions you need, one by line. For example:
Creating a file for variable name and paste the path there under /etc/paths.d and source the file to profile_bashrc. Export path variable in ~/.profile_bashrc as. export VARIABLE_NAME = $(PATH_VALUE) AND source the the path. Its simple and stable. You can set any path variable by Mac terminal or in linux also.
Similarly, any other terminal type not mentioned above, you should set environment variable in its respective terminal env file. After saved the content into env file, restart terminal and call following commands:
The correct file, prior to Mavericks, was ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist.This is no longer supported. In Darwin, and therefore in Mac OS X, the proper place to set these is in /etc/launchd.conf to apply to all processes; if relating to user shells specifically, use the appropriate shell files instead, depending on the shell in question.
