If you are attempting to modify your HOME, you can do
either in your shell, or in your ~/.profile file and/or ~/.bashrc (or appropriate login shell).
(The above code will work for bash and similar shells, which are default in Debian; you would otherwise do `setenv HOME $HOME:/extra/path I think on csh-like shells in other distros.)
edit -- However this is probably not the way to do it. See other answers. Do not use this answer.
