title: Setting of Environmental Variables which persist in Linux
body: <p>I have added the following:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>export SQOOP_HOME=/usr/bin/</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>to my <code>/etc/profile</code> file. However when I run an install.sh script it keeps saying the environment variable is not set. I have also added similar lines to the bash_profile. </p>
  
  <p>Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?</p>
