Windows Command Line Tutorial - 5 - PATH Variable

[Pandacornnn]

5 years later and this is still helping people. Thanks!

Tip: remember to close your terminal and reopen it so that the changes you made in the PATH variable are set in place.

dude none of my teachers ever told us what the PATH actually meant when we started working with Java... They just told us "Just write this in here and stuff will happen ayy lmao!!"

I’m new to coding but I’m thinking that your tutorials will be very helpful for me.Just wanted to give thanks, you have no idea how much you have helped me.

Reminder: Make sure not to add spaces in the PATH and separate paths with a semicolon (;)

[saeedtashakkori]

[jacktapping]

that whole path part was great iv used it be for with the GUI when i was in UNI but no one ever really told me what it was, and you explanation made it so simple

[bsheuma]

I've never understood what the heck PATH was until now. Thank you!

I'm in a masters program and I didn't know how to do this. educationSystem == broken

now the first Java tutorial makes sense

[skeyturr]

path is like a web browser you bookmark a webpage and then it appears in your bookmark tray. Then you can access bookmarks from any page, pretty neat.

I just figured it out! I think it's different in windows 10 in windows 10 you go to advanced system properties and then you edit the system environment variables not the user variables and you just type the shortcut version such as " Program Files\Windows Media Player" you can use spaces just fine and don't need to use a semi colon after the shortcut. Just save it and it will be there in the Path next time you're in cmd.
