View source for PATH env var

== PATH ==

=== NixOS Folders ===
NixOS bin folders are added to the PATH through PAM in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/config/system-environment.nix

=== Adding folders for all users ===
For systemd to include this PATH, you must include it in one of the following places.

In `/etc/environment.d` :<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
  environment.etc."environment.d/00-custom-path.conf".text = ''
    PATH="${PATH}:<path-to-new-folder>"
  '';
</syntaxhighlight>Or in `/etc/systemd/user.conf` :<syntaxhighlight lang="nixos">
systemd.user.extraConfig = ''
  DefaultEnvironment="PATH=<custom-path>"
'';
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Adding folders for a specific user ===
In <code>$HOME/.config/environment.d/*.conf</code>
