Open Terminal and execute commands given below.

cd /etc
subl bashrc

subl denotes Sublime editor. You can replace subl with vi to open bashrc file in default editor. This will workout only if you have bashrc file, created earlier.

bashrc is already a path to  bashrc   If you do echo   you ll see that it s a path to your home directory   Homebrew directory is  usr local bin  Homebrew is installed inside it and everything installed by homebrew will be installed there   For example  if you do brew install python Homebrew will put Python binary in  usr local bin   Finally  to add Homebrew directory to your path you can run echo  export PATH  usr local lib  PATH   gt  gt     bashrc  It will create  bashrc file if it doesn t exist and then append the needed line to the end    You can check the result by running tail    bashrc

I would think you should add it to    bash profile instead of  bashrc   creating  bash profile if it doesn t exist   Then you don t have to add the extra step of checking for    bashrc in your  bash profile  Are you comfortable working and editing in a terminal  Just in case     means your home directory  so if you open a new terminal window that is where you will be  located   And the dot at the front makes the file invisible to normal ls command  unless you put -a or specify the file name   Check this answer for more detail

The  bashrc file is in your home directory   So from command line do   cd ls -a   This will show all the hidden files in your home directory   cd  will get you home and ls -a will  list all    In general when you see    the tilda slash refers to your home directory  So    bashrc is your home directory with the  bashrc file   And the standard path to homebrew is in  usr local  so if you   cd  usr local ls   grep -i homebrew   you should see the homebrew directory   usr local homebrew   Source  Yes sometimes you may have to create this file and the typical format of a  bashrc file is      bashrc    User specific aliases and functions    alias alias ducks  du -cks     sort -rn   head -15     Source global definitions if   -f  etc bashrc    then        etc bashrc fi  PATH  PATH  home username bin  usr local homebrew export PATH   If you create your own  bashrc file make sure that the following line is in your    bash profile    Get the aliases and functions if   -f    bashrc    then          bashrc fi
