What are the Default $PATH Values?
On Mac OS X, the default $PATH values are:
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin
What are the default values on Linux?
Solution 1:
On a default Ubuntu desktop install $PATH is:
$ echo $PATH
/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games
But in a minimal chroot environment created by debootstrap, $PATH only contains:
# echo $PATH
/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
Solution 2:
Environment path values are stored in .bashrc file in ubuntu.
The system-wide PATH variable is defined in /etc/environment
