For the example you have provided the GEOSERVER_HOME would be set to
/usr/share/geoserver/geoserver-2.19.1-bin
The shell command consists of two parts (each with no line breaks when
you type them)
echo "export GEOSERVER_HOME=/usr/share/geoserver/geoserver-2.19.1-bin"
>> ~/.profile
and then
. ~/.profile
(THe alternative to the latter is just log off and then back on)

Hello, I'm installing Geoserver-2.19.1 (binary, platform independent)
stable release on Ubuntu 20.04. I'm following the Geoserver
documentation as best I can, but am running into trouble on setting
the GEOSERVER_HOME environment variable.
After following the documentation to download and extract zip files, I
have the directories set up such that my startup.sh is located as shown:
/usr/share/geoserver/geoserver-2.19.1-bin/bin/startup.sh
Now Step 5 of the current on-line GeoServer documentation says to
define the GEOSERVER_HOME environment variable by entering the command
(which I've copied and pasted here):
echo "export GEOSERVER_HOME=/usr/share/geoserver" >> ~/.profile
. ~/.profile
I assume this is all supposed to be entered as a single command line,
as the instructions say to type it in, so I typed it in like this:
echo "export GEOSERVER_HOME=/usr/share/geoserver" >> ~/.profile.
~/.profile
which did not work for me. Prior to that, I had entered (erroneously)
as two separate command lines (. ~/.profile as the 2nd command). But
either way when I try to do a subesequent step,
cd geoserver/bin
I get "No such file or directory". I actually got Geoserver to start
last night by using the commands "cd
/usr/share/geoserver/geoserver-2.19.1-bin/bin" and then "sh
startup.sh", but now even that won't work.
Can someone tell me my error? I'm considering re-installing, but would
like to have a bit more insight before I do that.
Your help would be much appreciated.
