Issue

I want to open my .bashrc file and and add a new PATH PHP VERSION export PATH=/opt/plesk/php/7.1/bin:$PATH;

In my root ssh connection i made : ls -a and i saw .bashrc ! but how i could open the file and add my new path ?

Sorry i'm really not a king in terms of command lines

Thanks a lot in advance if someone could help

Solution

To open file in editor you can use the following command:

vi ~/.bashrc

Or you can just add the line without opening file in editor:

echo "export PATH=/opt/plesk/php/7.1/bin:$PATH;" >> ~/.bashrc

After editing the file, run the following command (it will apply changes):

source ~/.bashrc

Also, make sure that a ~/.profile is there (sometimes it's missing). Otherwise, create it like this:

echo '[[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && source ~/.bashrc' > ~/.profile
