title: Linux Mint - adding environment variables permanently
body: <p>I was trying to modify the ~/.profile file to add a line to the PATH variable. I added this line:</p>
  
  <pre><code>PATH=$PATH:/home/paul/avatar-gf-1.0-ea/glassfish4/bin/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>at the end. I restarted the terminal, but it still did not identify commands in that directory. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?</p>
