Turning On an Environment Variable

To use an environment variable, follow these steps:

1. Make sure SunPCi is not running, or exit SunPCi if it is running.

2. Open a terminal window on your desktop.

3. To set an environment variable, type the following command at the % prompt and press Return (do not type the %). Substitute the name of the environment variable for VARIABLE_NAME, and the value for the variable (if required) for value.

   C Shell:

   ---

   % setenv VARIABLE_NAME=value
   

   ---

   Bourne Shell:

   ---

   % VARIABLE_NAME=value
   % export VARIABLE_NAME
   

   ---

4. Start SunPCi.
