Trying to export a path from inside a bash script
I am trying to put my whole environment set up into a single bash file. I am only hitting one issue. When I try to export a new path from inside the file it is not setting the path in the environment that the bash file was executed in. I want to do
>>sudo -H sh test.sh
Where test.sh is
bunch of installs
export PATH=/home/ubuntu/anaconda3/bin:$PATH
a second bunch of installs
I thought this was the purpose of eval so I tried
eval `export PATH=/home/ubuntu/anaconda3/bin:$PATH`
and even
eval `echo "export PATH=/home/ubuntu/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"`
but I can't access the command in the terminal. If I do it manually it works.
