System Level Environment Variables in RHEL 7

Environment variables are created using export statement. In order to create a system wide environment variable, the export must be executed when any user is logged-in.

You can copy scripts that need to be executed when a user is logged-in in /etc/profile.d directory. Just create a file with extension .sh (e.g. envVars.sh) and copy the following:

vi /etc/profile.d/envVars.sh

And update the contents with the following:

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/jdk/1.8.0_101l64/bin
export JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk/1.8.0_101l64

Now try creating another bash session on the server using Putty and run java

Using SBT from Git Bash

Even though I had it configured as follows, I kept getting the following message in my Git Bash:

You probably access the destination server through a proxy server that is not well configured. You probably access the destination server through a proxy server that is not well configured. You probably access the destination server through a proxy server that is not well configured.

In order to get rid of this message and use sbt I had to create a new file .bashrc and add the following proxy details to it:
