Click to expand.Guys, ran PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:$PATH in terminal, and it executes, but when I then try an 'ls' command it's still not found.

Update Bash Profile Mac

I know, this thread is old but the issue not. Here is a solution I've found to enable the global. Edit your.bashprofile (since OS X 10.8) — or (for 10.7 and earlier):.profile or.bashrc or /etc/profile (depending on availability) — in your home directory and add following code: export CLICOLOR=1 export LSCOLORS=GxFxCxDxBxegedabagaced CLICOLOR=1 simply enables coloring of your terminal. Specifies how to color specific items. After editing.bashprofile, start a Terminal and force the changes to take place by executing: source /.bashprofile Then go to Terminal Preferences, click on the Profiles tab and then the Text subtab and check Display ANSI Colors. Verified on Sierra (May 2017). You can use the Linux based syntax in one of your startup scripts.

Just tested this on an OS X Mountain Lion box. In your /.bashprofile export TERM='xterm-color' export PS1=' e0;33m u e0m @ e0;32m h e0m : e0;34m w e0m $ ' This gives you a nice colored prompt. To add the colored ls output, you can add alias ls='ls -G'. To test, just run a source /.bashprofile to update your current terminal. Side note about the colors: The colors are preceded by an escape sequence e and defined by a color value, composed of style;color+m and wrapped in an escaped sequence. red = e0;31m. bold red (style 1) = e1;31m.

clear coloring = e0m I always add a slightly modified color-scheme in the root's.bashprofile to make the username red, so I always see clearly if I'm logged in as root (handy to avoid mistakes if I have many terminal windows open). In /root/.bashprofile: PS1=' e0;31m u e0m @ e0;32m h e0m : e0;34m w e0m $ ' For all my SSH accounts online I make sure to put the hostname in red, to distinguish if I'm in a local or remote terminal.

Just edit the.bashprofile file in your home dir on the server. If there is no.bashprofile file on the server, you can create it and it should be sourced upon login.
