## add_to_path.txt
In the process of setting up a new Mac, I installed node.js.  After the node.js installer finished, it recommended to add /usr/local/share/npm/bin to my path.  It turns out there is a very neat way to do this in OS X, the /etc/paths file!  The file contains a list (one per line) of paths that are added to the $PATH variable in the shell. Here are some quick directions to add to the path:

##Open up Terminal.
Run the following command:

sudo nano /etc/paths
Enter your password, when prompted.
Go to the bottom of the file, and enter the path you wish to add.
Hit control-x to quit.
Enter “Y” to save the modified buffer.
That’s it!  To test it, in new terminal window, type:

echo $PATH
