Here&#8217;s how you can add the directory containing the binary to the <code>PATH<\/code>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Determine the directory that contains the binary. For example, if you installed a new binary called <code>foo<\/code> in the directory <code>\/usr\/local\/bin<\/code>, the directory to add to the <code>PATH<\/code> would be <code>\/usr\/local\/bin<\/code>.<\/li>\n<li>Open your shell&#8217;s configuration file with a text editor. The name and location of the configuration file depends on the shell you are using.
