I am using Vagrant to deploy a virtual machine with several installed packages using shell provisioning. One of the packages needs an update of path to be used properly which I wasn't able to do. 

These are the contents of my Vagrantfile:

```
# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :

# Vagrantfile API/syntax version. Don't touch unless you know what you're doing!
VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"

Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|

config.vm.box = "precise64"
config.vm.box_url = "http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box"

#config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 8888, host: 8888

config.ssh.forward_agent = true
config.vm.provision "shell", path: "provision.sh" 

end

```

These are the following things I tried:

1. Create a separate .bashrc and .profile files with the following commands (appended at the end of file) and copy them into home directory:

```
export PATH="/usr/local/x86_64/bin:$PATH"

```
2. Try to write into .profile file:

```
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/x86_64/bin:$PATH"' >> .profile

```
3. Just try exporting PATH during the provisioning (i.e. as a line of code in the provision.sh):

```
export PATH="/usr/local/x86_64/bin:$PATH"

```

After `vagrant up` command finishes, this command does enable the change of path following `vagrant ssh`.
