10.4: Use Preview to view formatted man pages
Please excuse my ignorance, but what's the PATH? I'm new to all this Unix stuff. Only had my Mac for a couple of months... damn Windows rotted my mind.
10.4: Use Preview to view formatted man pages
The PATH is the location where all the, terminal, programs are store. If you can type '
gre' and hitting tab autocompletes to 'grep' it's because 'grep' is in your path. The PATH is set in your ~/.bash_profile (if running bash) and will look something like export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:~/bin. You can see in my example that I add /usr/local/bin and ~/bin to the existing $PATH variable (which probably already holds paths like /bin and /sbin).
Hope this helps.---
