WHen I wanted to export a enviromnet variable. ANd I wanted it to be set permanently.
$: export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="..."
And in the same terminal when checked with
printenv GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS
it print the correct value which I just set.
But when open a new terminal, this variable is gone. not exist anymore.
And I tried add the following content to ~/.profile
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="..."
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS
Same issue happens, when open a new terminal, this environ variable does not exist,
unless I execute source ~/.profile, but this is not less work than simply export the variable once again.
How can I export once and in the future it will remain existing?
Solved: add it to ~/.bashrc. because ./bashrc will be source every time you open a shell. but ./profile will not.
