I am working on server running on CENTOS 7.

I have compiled a few software from source code. I had executed ./configure, make, make install as SUPERUSER.

To be accessible I need to set a PATH. I added the following lines in ~/.bashrc file as SU

for adding PATH to HISAT2

export PATH="/home/bioinformatics/Arindam/Software/Hisat2/hisat2-2.1.0/:$PATH"

As SUPERUSER it worked fine. But once I moved out of SU I was not able to do so. Next I added the same lines in ~/.bashrc but not as SU and this did my job pretty well.

Now I need the software to be accessible to other users as well. How do I do it. Which file must be editted ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, /etc/profile and should I do it as SU?

Is there any other alternative?

Just add your PATH to /etc/profile or if you prefer create a .sh in /etc/profile.d/ with you path and it will be added to all users upon login.

you can add your PATH definition to the /etc/environment.
