You can use your favorite text editor to edit these text files. Personally, I use vi. In order to figure out how to use vi (if you would like to use this editor), from your command line you could enter: # man vi This command will give you the 'man' page for the vi application (manual page).
Execute the following command from your command line: # vi ~/.bash_profile This will open up a vi session with the .bash_profile file opened up for modification. The ~ in the above command is just a shorthand way of specifying your user account's home directory. Once inside vi, make the change described, and save the file. Without having to logout and log back in (when you login and the bash shell is started, the ~/.bash_profile file is read), execute the following from the command line: # source ~/.bash_profile Voila! You should be good to venture further down the path now....
