I was trying to add something to the PATH with :



export PATH=/user/home/sbt/bin


but I removed all of the content of PATH and I can not run any command on the terminal even ls ! So what should I do ? Can I fix it ?

  • Have you tried with sudo PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games? This will only work for the actual session.

Close the terminal app, and open a new one. The variable will be reset to its original state then.



If you're on a virtual terminal, and not running gnome-terminal or similar under X11, then you can log out and log back in again, to reset the variables. You can type exit to log out, or press Ctrl+D.
