Set environment variable $PATH globally on Ubuntu 14.04
I am trying to add environment path variable of composer globally. I've tried many ways but it does not seem to work. I searched other posts, but did not find matching answers.
I am trying to configure laravel 5+ but I need to add the composer path globally in order to access "laravel" syntax using a terminal.
A temporary path set using Terminal works, but permanent path set does not. How do I do this?

You can change the settings in /etc/environment which contains a definiton of the $PATH variable, or add an entry to the system-wide bashrc ( /etc/bash.bashrc which is not as universal as changing the environment setting (i.e. only for bash and if the system-wide bashrc is actually loaded).

/etc/environment, yes./etc/bash.bashrc, no that would only set the variable in interactive shells, not elsewhere (applications started from a menu, cron jobs, etc.). Never set environment variables in.bashrc, only interactive shell settings.

@Gilles. Thank you for your great answer to my question. Could I also export MONO_WINFORMS_XIM_STYLE=disabled using /etc/environment so that any programs which run from either the terminal monodevlelop,doubleclick take this environment variable ?
– Frank
Jul 25 '16 at 14:42
@Frank Sure, you can put any environment variable there. Remember that the syntax is justMONO_WINFORMS_XIM_STYLE=disabled, noexport, this isn't a shell script.
