在OS X中修改环境变量如PATH的正确方法是什么?
我看了谷歌一点,找到了三个不同的文件进行编辑:
/etc/paths ~ / . profile ~ / tcshrc
我甚至没有这些文件中的一些,我很确定.tcshrc是错误的,因为OS X现在使用bash。这些变量,特别是PATH,定义在哪里?
我运行的是OS X v10.5 (Leopard)。

来自单一来源的命令行和GUI应用程序的解决方案(适用于Mac OS X v10.10 (Yosemite)和Mac OS X v10.11 (El Capitan))
让我们假设在~/中有环境变量定义。Bash_profile如下所示:
export JAVA_HOME="$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8)"
export GOPATH="$HOME/go"
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/opt/go/libexec/bin:$GOPATH/bin"
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"
export MANPATH="/usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnuman:$MANPATH"
我们需要一个启动代理,它将在每次登录时运行,并随时按需将这些变量加载到用户会话。我们还需要一个shell脚本来解析这些定义并构建由代理执行的必要命令。
在~/Library/LaunchAgents/目录下创建一个后缀为plist的文件(例如osx-env-sync.plist),内容如下:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>osx-env-sync</string>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>bash</string>
<string>-l</string>
<string>-c</string>
<string>
$HOME/.osx-env-sync.sh
</string>
</array>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>
-l参数在这里很重要;使用登录shell执行shell脚本是必要的,以便~/。Bash_profile是在执行脚本之前首先获取的。
现在,shell脚本。在~/.osx-env-sync.sh中创建以下内容:
grep export $HOME/.bash_profile | while IFS=' =' read ignoreexport envvar ignorevalue; do
launchctl setenv "${envvar}" "${!envvar}"
done
确保shell脚本是可执行的:
chmod +x ~/.osx-env-sync.sh
现在,加载当前会话的启动代理:
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/osx-env-sync.plist
(重新)启动一个GUI应用程序并验证它可以读取环境变量。
设置是持久的。它将在重新启动和重新登录后仍然有效。
在初始设置之后(您刚刚完成了),如果您想在~/中反映任何更改。Bash_profile再次到您的整个环境,重新运行launchctl load…命令不会执行你想要的;相反,你会得到如下警告:
< $ HOME > /图书馆/ LaunchAgents / osx-env-sync。plist:操作已经在进行中
为了在不退出/登录的情况下重新加载环境变量,请执行以下操作:
launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/osx-env-sync.plist
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/osx-env-sync.plist
最后,确保重新启动已经运行的应用程序(包括Terminal.app),让它们知道这些更改。
我还将这里的代码和解释推送到GitHub项目:osx-env-sync。
我希望这将是最终的解决方案,至少对于最新版本的OS X (Yosemite & El Capitan)来说是这样。

直到和包括OS X v10.7 (Lion),你可以设置它们:
~/.MacOSX/environment.plist
See:
https://developer.apple.com/legacy/library/qa/qa1067/_index.html https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPRuntimeConfig/Articles/EnvironmentVars.html
对于终端中的PATH,您应该能够在.bash_profile或.profile中设置(尽管您可能必须创建它)
对于OS X v10.8 (Mountain Lion)及以上版本,您需要使用launchd和launchctl。
任何Bash启动文件—~/。bashrc,(~ /。bash_profile、~ / . profile。还有一些奇怪的文件,名为~/. macosx /environment。用于GUI应用程序中的环境变量。
我认为OP正在寻找一个简单的,类似windows的解决方案。

虽然这里的答案并不是“错误的”,但我还要补充一点:永远不要在OS X中改变影响“所有进程”的环境变量,甚至在shell之外,也不要影响给定用户交互运行的所有进程。
In my experience, global changes to environment variables like PATH for all processes are even more likely to break things on OS X than on Windows. Reason being, lots of OS X applications and other software (including, perhaps especially, components of the OS itself) rely on UNIX command-line tools under the hood, and assume the behavior of the versions of these tools provided with the system, and don't necessarily use absolute paths when doing so (similar comments apply to dynamically-loaded libraries and DYLD_* environment variables). Consider, for instance, that the highest-rated answers to various Stack Overflow questions about replacing OS X-supplied versions of interpreters like Python and Ruby generally say "don't do this."
OS X is really no different than other UNIX-like operating systems (e.g., Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris) in this respect; the most likely reason Apple doesn't provide an easy way to do this is because it breaks things. To the extent Windows isn't as prone to these problems, it's due to two things: (1) Windows software doesn't tend to rely on command-line tools to the extent that UNIX software does, and (2) Microsoft has had such an extensive history of both "DLL hell" and security problems caused by changes that affect all processes that they've changed the behavior of dynamic loading in newer Windows versions to limit the impact of "global" configuration options like PATH.
不管“蹩脚”与否,如果您将这些更改限制在较小的范围内,您将拥有一个更加稳定的系统。
在处理时,基本上有两个问题需要解决 第一个是在调用程序时 来自Spotlight (Mac右侧的放大镜图标) 菜单/状态栏),第二个是从Dock调用程序。 从终端应用程序/实用程序调用程序非常简单 因为它从标准shell位置读取环境 (~ /。简介~ /。bash_profile、~ /。bashrc,(等等)。
当从Dock调用程序时,使用~/.MacOSX/environment.plist <dict>元素包含序列 <键>键< /关键> <字符串> < /字符串>价值元素。
当从Spotlight调用程序时,确保launchd已经启动 设置所需的所有键/值设置。
To solve both problems simultaneously, I use a login item (set via the System Preferences tool) on my User account. The login item is a bash script that invokes an Emacs lisp function although one can of course use their favorite scripting tool to accomplish the same thing. This approach has the added benefit that it works at any time and does not require a reboot, i.e. one can edit ~/.profile, run the login item in some shell and have the changes visible for newly invoked programs, from either the Dock or Spotlight.
细节:
登录项:~/bin/macosx-startup
#!/bin/bash
bash -l -c "/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs --batch -l ~/lib/emacs/elisp/macosx/environment-support.el -f generate-environment"
Emacs的lisp功能:~/lib/ Emacs /elisp/macosx/ environment -support.el
;;; Provide support for the environment on Mac OS X
(defun generate-environment ()
"Dump the current environment into the ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist file."
;; The system environment is found in the global variable:
;; 'initial-environment' as a list of "KEY=VALUE" pairs.
(let ((list initial-environment)
pair start command key value)
;; clear out the current environment settings
(find-file "~/.MacOSX/environment.plist")
(goto-char (point-min))
(setq start (search-forward "<dict>\n"))
(search-forward "</dict>")
(beginning-of-line)
(delete-region start (point))
(while list
(setq pair (split-string (car list) "=")
list (cdr list))
(setq key (nth 0 pair)
value (nth 1 pair))
(insert " <key>" key "</key>\n")
(insert " <string>" value "</string>\n")
;; Enable this variable in launchd
(setq command (format "launchctl setenv %s \"%s\"" key value))
(shell-command command))
;; Save the buffer.
(save-buffer)))
注意:这个解决方案是在我添加我的解决方案之前的一个混合体,特别是由Matt Curtis提供的解决方案,但我故意试图保持我的~/。bash_profile独立于内容平台,并将launchd环境(Mac专用工具)的设置放到单独的脚本中。
