I can to enable some program installed from tarball…

using this command:

echo 'export PATH=/usr/local/SomeProgram/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bash_profile
echo 'export MANPATH=/usr/local/SomeProgram/man:$MANPATH' >> ~/.bash_profile

But how to do it for all users (including root profile)?

Best Answer

$ more /etc/paths
/usr/local/bin

$ more /etc/manpaths
