$PATH not being saved after I leave terminal

macos, mysql, terminal

Solution

You have to add

PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/mysql/bin
export PATH

to your `~/.bash_profile` or `.bashrc` (or use similar option when using different shell).

If you want it to be system wide, you should upgrade: `/etc/bash.bashrc` (on archilnux, can wary on your distribution)

Problem

I just installed mysql server 5.5.20 on my OS X Lion and everything works fine.Now,every time I go into terminal I have to explicitly write: `PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/mysql/bin` because is not being saved after I leave the command line.I have no idea why such could be. Ideas?
