If you change  bash profile  it only applies to new Terminal sessions   To apply it to an existing session  run source    bash profile  You can run any Bash script this way - think of executing source as the same as typing commands in the Terminal window  from the specified script    More info  How to reload  bash profile from the command line   Bonus  You can make environment variables available to OSX applications - not just the current Bash session but apps like Visual Studio Code or IntelliJ - using launchctl setenv GOPATH    GOPATH -

As  kojiro said  you don t want to  run  this file   Source it as he says   It should get  sourced  at startup   Sourcing just means running every line in the file  including the one you want to get run  If you want to make sure a folder is in a certain path environment variable  as it seems you want from one of your comments on another solution   execute    echo  PATH   At the command line   If you want to check that your    bash profile is being sourced  either at startup as it should be  or when you source it manually  enter the following line into your    bash profile file     echo  Hello I m running stuff in the    bash profile

You would never want to run that  but you may want to source it         bash profile source    bash profile   both should work  But this is an odd request  because that file should be sourced automatically when you start bash  unless you re explicitly starting it non-interactively  From the man page      When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell  or as a non-interactive shell with the --login option  it first reads and executes commands from the file  etc profile  if that file exists  After reading that file  it looks for    bash profile     bash login  and    profile  in that order  and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable  The --noprofile option may be used when the shell is started to inhibit this behavior

If the problem is that you are not seeing your changes to the file take effect  just open a new terminal window  and it will be  sourced   You will be able to use the proper PATH etc with each subsequent terminal window
