6: The PATH Variable（Working with programs）

2019独角兽企业重金招聘Python工程师标准>>>

In the last screen, we typed /usr/bin/python to access the Python interpreter. If the Python interpreter is at that location, how come we can also access it by typing python? We can do this because of the PATH variable. The PATHenvironment variable contains several folders. Any program in any one of these folders can be run simply by typing the name of the program. Since/usr/bin is one of the folders in PATH, we can access python, which is in the folder, by just typing python instead of the full path.

Instructions

• Type echo $PATH to see what folders are in PATH.

/home/dq$ echo $PATH                                                            

/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
