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)。

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.

有时候,前面所有的答案都不适用。如果你想在Eclipse或IntelliJ IDEA中访问一个系统变量(如M2_HOME),在这种情况下,唯一适合我的是:

首先(步骤1)编辑/etc/launchd.conf以包含如下一行:“setenv VAR value”,然后(步骤2)重新启动。

简单地修改.bash_profile将不起作用,因为在OS X中应用程序不会像在其他Unix中那样启动;它们不继承父函数的壳变量。其他的修改都不管用了,原因我也不知道。也许有人可以解释一下。

布鲁诺正在正确的轨道上。我已经做了大量的研究,如果你想设置在所有GUI应用程序中可用的变量,你唯一的选择是/etc/launchd.conf。

请注意环境。plist不适用于通过Spotlight启动的应用程序。这是由史蒂夫·塞克斯顿记录的。

Open a terminal prompt Type sudo vi /etc/launchd.conf (note: this file might not yet exist) Put contents like the following into the file # Set environment variables here so they are available globally to all apps # (and Terminal), including those launched via Spotlight. # # After editing this file run the following command from the terminal to update # environment variables globally without needing to reboot. # NOTE: You will still need to restart the relevant application (including # Terminal) to pick up the changes! # grep -E "^setenv" /etc/launchd.conf | xargs -t -L 1 launchctl # # See http://www.digitaledgesw.com/node/31 # and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/135688/setting-environment-variables-in-os-x/ # # Note that you must hardcode the paths below, don't use environment variables. # You also need to surround multiple values in quotes, see MAVEN_OPTS example below. # setenv JAVA_VERSION 1.6 setenv JAVA_HOME /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Home setenv GROOVY_HOME /Applications/Dev/groovy setenv GRAILS_HOME /Applications/Dev/grails setenv NEXUS_HOME /Applications/Dev/nexus/nexus-webapp setenv JRUBY_HOME /Applications/Dev/jruby setenv ANT_HOME /Applications/Dev/apache-ant setenv ANT_OPTS -Xmx512M setenv MAVEN_OPTS "-Xmx1024M -XX:MaxPermSize=512m" setenv M2_HOME /Applications/Dev/apache-maven setenv JMETER_HOME /Applications/Dev/jakarta-jmeter Save your changes in vi and reboot your Mac. Or use the grep/xargs command which is shown in the code comment above. Prove that your variables are working by opening a Terminal window and typing export and you should see your new variables. These will also be available in IntelliJ IDEA and other GUI applications you launch via Spotlight.

这里有一个非常简单的方法来做你想做的事情。在我的例子中,它是让Gradle工作(Android Studio)。

打开终端。 执行如下命令: Sudo nano /etc/paths或Sudo vim /etc/paths 在提示时输入密码。 转到文件底部,输入要添加的路径。 点击Control + X退出。 输入“Y”保存修改后的缓冲区。 打开一个新的终端窗口,然后输入: 回声路径美元

您应该看到新路径被追加到path的末尾。

我从这篇文章中得到了这些细节:

添加到Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion及以上版本的PATH中

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

嗯,我不确定/etc/paths和~/. macosx /environment。plist文件。那些是新的。

但是使用Bash时,您应该知道每次新的shell调用都会执行.bashrc 并且.bash_profile只在启动时执行一次。

我不知道在Mac OS x上这种情况发生的频率有多高。我想随着windows系统启动一切,这种区别已经消失了。

就我个人而言,我通过创建一个.bashrc文件来消除困惑,其中包含我需要的所有内容,然后执行:

ln -s .bashrc .bash_profile
