set env var in mac doesn't take an effect - macos

I have tried to set env var in Mac.
$ open ~/.bash_profile
shows:
export ADB_PATH=~/MyWorkspace/sdk/platform-tools/adb
export PATH=$PATH:$ADB_PATH
I have restarted the machine but no effect:
$ adb
-bash: adb: command not found
what can be wrong?
update
have tried this too, with no help:
export ADB_PATH=~/MyWorkspace/sdk/platform-tools
export PATH=$PATH:$ADB_PATH/adb
or
export PATH=$PATH:~/MyWorkspace/sdk/platform-tools

Entries in the PATH environment variable should be directories, not individual binaries. Change your PATH to:
export PATH=$PATH:~/MyWorkspace/sdk/platform-tools

Where is Shell Path in mac. .bash_profile Dont works correctly

When i use:
nano .bash_profile
the terminal show me:
export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/opt/x11/bin:$PATH
# Setting PATH for Python 3.4
# The orginal version is saved in .bash_profile.pysave
PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH
export PATH="/Applications/MAMP/Library/lib"
export PATH="/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin"
#XAMPP
#export PATH="/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin:$PATH"
#export PATH="/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib:$PATH"
But when i open a new terminal only shows. echo $PATH prints.
/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin
The problem is that when i execute a command the terminal returns :
command not found
I need to execute this command for the terminal to operate properly
export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/opt/x11/bin:$PATH
and echo $PATH prints.
/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/opt/x11/bin:/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin
What can i do to open and edit the correct shell PATH ?
You are overiding your PATH variable every time you export. your .bash_profile should be
export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/opt/x11/bin
export PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH="/Applications/MAMP/Library/lib:$PATH"
export PATH="/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin:$PATH"
this way your current path is added to the end of the new path variable

Java_HOME not found when changed shell from Bash to Zsh on OSX?

This is weird, I have set JAVA_HOME for my mac which can be found when I am using bash shell, but if I change shell, I get a message saying JAVA_HOME not set. What could be going on here?
I stumbled upon your question when trying to solve the same issue while migrating from bash to oh-my-zsh. The reason it's not there is that there is no code setting it for zsh but there was for bash. Generally theres something exporting JAVA_HOME whenever a new bash window is opened so it's always set for you. There is a good thread where this might be happening on the Unix & Linux StackExchange site.
To do the same thing in zsh, you can edit the .zshrc which is run every time zsh starts. I found a sample .zshrc which got me most of the way. The key line being:
export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home`
Here is the file which I appended to the end of my existing ~/.zshrc file:
#zshrc, interactive shell settings
export ZSH=$HOME/.zsh
# emacs integration
[[ $EMACS = t ]] && unsetopt zle
# env
if [[ -e /usr/libexec/java_home ]]; then
export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home`
fi
if [[ -e /usr/local/lib/node_modules ]]; then
export NODE_PATH=/usr/local/lib/node_modules
fi
# path
export PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/X11/bin
export PATH=/opt/usr/sbin:/opt/sbin:/opt/usr/bin:/opt/bin:$PATH
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH
export PATH=$HOME/.cabal/bin:$PATH
export PATH=$HOME/.gem/ruby/1.8/bin:$PATH
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
export PATH=$HOME/.bin:$PATH
setopt null_glob
# source all files in zsh root
for include in $ZSH/*.zsh; do
source $include
done
# source all non-controlled files
for include in $ZSH/private/*.zsh; do
source $include
done
unsetopt null_glob
Then source ~/.zshrc to run in the current shell (or just start a new one) and you should be able to see that it is set with export | grep JAVA_HOME.
I also ended up running mkdir ~/.zsh to create the directory this is looking for and removing the .cabal and .gem lines as they were not needed for me.
I have just installed Mac OS Catalina Version 10.15 and found that environment variables such as JAVA_HOME and others that have been set in my .bash_profile :
export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_231.jdk/Contents/Home
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/mynziak/Library/Android/sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
export M2_HOME=/usr/local/Cellar/maven/3.6.2/libexec
export M2=${M2_HOME}/bin
export PATH=${PATH}:${M2_HOME}/bin
are not set in fact!
I saw % in terminal instead of general $ that means you are using a zsh shell instead of bash shell. With Catalina zsh is now the default shell and bash will be completely gone in the future.
oh-my-zsh shell:
https://ohmyz.sh/
So you have to setup all environment variables in .zshrc file.
I just copy-pasted every variables from .bash_profile in to .zshrc and re-opened terminal.
Files .bash_profile and .zshrc are hidden (cmd+shift+. - show hidden files in finder) but can be found in path:
/Users/mynziak/.zshrc
but use own username!
When you set JAVA_HOME in a shell, then it is active and available only for that context, and it will be gone when you close that shell.
Instead either change global environment (or) your .bashrc to include it. So that every time you start a shell, the variable will be available.
edit the .profile or .bash_profile to include the JAVA_HOME.
export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/lib....`
and also below command will return the path for java home directory.
/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.7
where 1.7 is the version you want.
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8)
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
Add above 2 lines in ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc and reload the file using source command.

$GOPATH value keeps reseting to empty during new sessions of the terminal

I have installed GO on my Mac Book using the 10.8+ installer from golang.org, and I have set up a workspace. After running both these commands: export GOPATH=$HOME/go and export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin, echoing the GOPATH does return a value of /Users/dipen/go; however, after restarting the terminal, the echoing the GOPATH returns nothing. How can I fix this?
Add these lines to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile:
export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

-bash: : command not found when launching the shell in Mac OSX

Lately I tried to made some changes to paths in my .bash_profile.
After I tried to validate these changes with source .bash_profile and got -bash: : command not found, I have also noticed that when I open the shell, before the execution of any command, it stands already "-bash: : command not found"...
Obviously, changes made to .bash_profile weren't taken into consideration by the system niether...
Please, help! I guess that I messed with the .bash_profile too much, have no idea how to fix it...

This line:
export PATH= /Users/usrname/TreeTagger/bin:$PATH
is the problem. In a variable assignment, including an export, you can't have spaces around the =. With the added space, it sets $PATH to the empty string.
Change it to:
export PATH=/Users/usrname/TreeTagger/bin:$PATH
For safety, you should add double quotes:
export PATH="/Users/usrname/TreeTagger/bin:$PATH"
just in case there are any special characters in the value of $PATH.
You have the same problem with UIMA_HOME.
UPDATE :
Based on later comments, you appear to have a stray control character in your .bash_profile. With set -x it's displayed as $'\016'. bash tries to treat that as a command name, and not surprisingly is unable to find it. Edit your .bash_profile and delete that character.
(The other errors needed to be corrected anyway.)

TERM environment variable not set on mac

I keep on getting the "TERM environment variable not set." error when I work with svn commands on my Mac terminal.
I thought I had set up my profile by doing:
export SVN_EDITOR=/usr/bin/nano
export EDITOR=/usr/bin/nano
in .profile and .bash_profile, reset the terminal and it still gives me that error.
Any help?
Add this to your profile:
export TERM=xterm-color
