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

不要期望~/.launchd.conf能够工作

launchctl的手册页说它从来没有工作过:

已弃用和删除的功能 Launchctl不再具有交互模式,也不再接受来自stdin的命令。/etc/launchd.conf文件不再用于在早期启动时运行子命令;出于安全考虑,该功能已被删除。虽然有文档表明在设置用户会话之前会查询$HOME/.launchd.conf,但这个功能从未实现过。

如何为Spotlight启动的新进程设置环境(不需要重新启动)

您可以使用launchctl setenv设置launchd(以及从Spotlight开始的任何东西)所使用的环境。例如,设置路径:

launchctl setenv PATH /opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

或者如果你想在。bashrc或类似文件中设置你的路径,那么在launchd中镜像它:

PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
launchctl setenv PATH $PATH

没有必要重新启动,但如果你想让应用程序接受改变的环境,就需要重新启动应用程序。

这包括已经在终端下运行的任何shell。如果你在那里,你可以更直接地设置环境,例如export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH for bash或zsh。

重启后如何保持更改

新方法(自10.10 Yosemite起)

使用launchctl config用户路径/bin:/usr/bin:/mystuff。更多信息请参见man launchctl。

以前的方法

这个答案顶部的launchctl手册页引用说,出于安全原因,这里描述的特性(在引导时读取/etc/launchd.conf)被删除了,因此ymmv. conf。

为了在重启后保持更改,你可以在/etc/launchd.conf中设置环境变量,如下所示:

setenv PATH /opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

重启时自动执行Launchd.conf。

如果你想让这些改变现在生效,你应该使用这个命令重新处理launchd.conf(感谢@mklement的提示!)

egrep -v '^\s*#' /etc/launchd.conf | launchctl

你可以通过命令man launchctl找到更多关于launchctl以及它如何加载launchd.conf的信息。

其他回答

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.

另一个免费、开源的Mac OS X v10.8 (Mountain Lion)首选项窗格/环境。plist解决方案是EnvPane。

EnvPane的源代码可在GitHub。EnvPane看起来具有与rcenvirenvironment相当的功能,然而,它似乎可以立即更新其存储的变量,即不需要重新启动或登录,这是受欢迎的。

如开发商所述:

EnvPane is a preference pane for Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) that lets you set environment variables for all programs in both graphical and terminal sessions. Not only does it restore support for ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist in Mountain Lion, it also publishes your changes to the environment immediately, without the need to log out and back in. <SNIP> EnvPane includes (and automatically installs) a launchd agent that runs 1) early after login and 2) whenever the ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist changes. The agent reads ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist and exports the environment variables from that file to the current user's launchd instance via the same API that is used by launchctl setenv and launchctl unsetenv.

免责声明:我与开发者或他/她的项目没有任何关系。

附注:我喜欢这个名字(听起来像“Ends Pain”)。

/etc/launchd.conf在OS X v10.10 (Yosemite)、OS X v10.11 (El Capitan)、macOS v10.12 (Sierra)或macOS v10.13 (High Sierra)中不使用。


从launchctl手册页:

/etc/launchd.conf file is no longer consulted for subcommands to run during early boot time;
this functionality was removed for security considerations.

这个Ask Different answer中描述的方法适用于我(重启后):从Dock或Spotlight启动的应用程序继承了我在~/Library/LaunchAgents/my.startup.plist中设置的环境变量。(在我的例子中,我需要将LANG设置为en_US。UTF-8,用于Sublime Text插件。)

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

我认为OP正在寻找一个简单的,类似windows的解决方案。
