title: How can I permanently add a class path to my Mac terminal?
body: <p>I want to set my path permanently for the following directory:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/Users/syalam/Library/android-sdk-mac_86/platform-tools
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Not sure how to do it from the terminal. I tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>export PATH=$PATH:/Users/syalam/Library/android-sdk-mac_86/platform-tools
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but it only works temporarily. After I close my shell it no longer exists.</p>
