The export command in Linux is used for creating environment variables. You can use it like this:

  • export myvar or a shorthand like this to assign it a value immediately:

  • export myvar=5 You can see the value of exported variables with the echo command:

  • echo $myvar To make the changes permanent, you should add it to the ~/.bashrc file.

NOTE: While the options provided here work on most UNIX systems, some UNIX flavors may have changed their meanings or uses. If you experience an incompatibility with these options, please consult the manual page (see man command) on your system for a list of compatible options.
