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)。


当前回答

做的事: vim ~ / . bash_profile 文件可能不存在(如果不存在,您可以直接创建它)。 输入并保存文件: 导出路径= $路径:YOUR_PATH_HERE 运行 源~ / . bash_profile

其他回答

$PATH变量也受制于path_helper,它反过来利用/etc/paths文件和/etc/paths.d中的文件

更详细的描述可以在PATH和Leopard(2008-11)的其他环境问题中找到。

在追逐环境变量首选项窗格后,发现链接已经损坏,在苹果网站上搜索似乎表明他们已经忘记了它……我开始回到难以捉摸的发射过程。

在我的系统(Mac OS X 10.6.8)上,似乎在环境中定义的变量。plist被可靠地导出到从Spotlight启动的应用程序(通过launchd)。我的问题是,这些变量没有被导出到终端中的新bash会话。也就是说,我的问题与这里描述的相反。

注:环境。如前所述,plist看起来像JSON,而不是XML

我可以通过编辑~/MacOSX/environment让Spotlight应用程序看到变量。plist和 我能够通过在我的.profile文件中添加以下内容将相同的vars强制到一个新的Terminal会话中:

eval $(launchctl export)

直到和包括OS X v10.7 (Lion),你可以设置它们:

~/.MacOSX/environment.plist

See:

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。

就像Matt Curtis给出的答案一样,我通过launchctl设置环境变量,但我将它包装在一个名为export的函数中,因此每当我像在.bash_profile中一样导出一个变量时,它也由launchctl设置。我是这样做的:

My .bash_profile consists solely of one line, (This is just personal preference.) source .bashrc My .bashrc has this: function export() { builtin export "$@" if [[ ${#@} -eq 1 && "${@//[^=]/}" ]] then launchctl setenv "${@%%=*}" "${@#*=}" elif [[ ! "${@//[^ ]/}" ]] then launchctl setenv "${@}" "${!@}" fi } export -f export The above will overload the Bash builtin "export" and will export everything normally (you'll notice I export "export" with it!), then properly set them for OS X app environments via launchctl, whether you use any of the following: export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 # ~$ launchctl getenv LC_CTYPE # en_US.UTF-8 PATH="/usr/local/bin:${PATH}" PATH="/usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:${PATH}" export PATH # ~$ launchctl getenv PATH # /usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin export CXX_FLAGS="-mmacosx-version-min=10.9" # ~$ launchctl getenv CXX_FLAGS # -mmacosx-version-min=10.9 This way I don't have to send every variable to launchctl every time, and I can just have my .bash_profile / .bashrc set up the way I want. Open a terminal window, check out your environment variables you're interested in with launchctl getenv myVar, change something in your .bash_profile/.bashrc, close the terminal window and re-open it, check the variable again with launchctl, and voilá, it's changed. Again, like the other solutions for the post-Mountain Lion world, for any new environment variables to be available for apps, you need to launch or re-launch them after the change.

更新(2017-08-04)

从macOS 10.12.6 (Sierra)开始,这个方法似乎已经停止在Apache httpd上工作(对于系统和launchctl配置的用户选项)。其他项目似乎没有受到影响。可以想象,这是httpd中的一个bug。

原来的答案

这涉及到OS X 10.10+(特别是10.11+由于无根模式,其中/usr/bin不再可写)。

我在很多地方读到过,使用launchctl setenv PATH <new PATH >来设置PATH变量由于OS X中的一个错误而不起作用(从个人经验来看似乎是正确的)。我发现还有另一种方法可以为非shell启动的应用程序设置PATH:

sudo launchctl config user path <new path>

这个选项记录在launchctl手册页中:

config system | user parameter value Sets persistent configuration information for launchd(8) domains. Only the system domain and user domains may be configured. The location of the persistent storage is an implementation detail, and changes to that storage should only be made through this subcommand. A reboot is required for changes made through this subcommand to take effect. [...] path Sets the PATH environment variable for all services within the target domain to the string value. The string value should conform to the format outlined for the PATH environment variable in environ(7). Note that if a service specifies its own PATH, the service-specific environment variable will take precedence. NOTE: This facility cannot be used to set general environment variables for all services within the domain. It is intentionally scoped to the PATH environment vari- able and nothing else for security reasons.

我已经确认这与从Finder(使用getenv获取PATH)开始的GUI应用程序一起工作。 请注意,您只需要这样做一次,并且更改将在重新启动时保持不变。
