How can I see the current value of my PATH variable on OS X

Question

PATH   returns      -bash   usr local share npm bin  Library Frameworks Python framework Versions 2 7 bin  usr local bin  usr local sbin   bin  Library Frameworks Python framework Versions Current bin  usr bin  bin  usr sbin  sbin  usr local bin  opt X11 bin  usr local git bin  No such file or directory   This seems quite ugly and might be giving me issues with getting Homebrew up and running as well

You need to use the command echo  PATH to display the PATH variable or you can just execute set or env to display all of your environment variables   By typing  PATH you tried to run your PATH variable contents as a command name   Bash displayed the contents of your path any way   Based on your output the following directories will be searched in the following order    usr local share npm bin  Library Frameworks Python framework Versions 2 7 bin  usr local bin  usr local sbin   bin  Library Frameworks Python framework Versions Current bin  usr bin  bin  usr sbin  sbin  usr local bin  opt X11 bin  usr local git bin   To me this list appears to be complete
