Adding path variable in wsl

export PATH=\wsl$\Ubuntu\usr\local\mbdyn\bin:$PATH

added same path in .bashrc

error: command not found

Answer 1

As you have been told, the forward slash to use is / and if you use the command

PATH="$PATH:/folder/subfolder/" 

that value will only last in the PATH for the duration of the session. To include a value in the PATH permanently, edit the .bashrc file from your home

$ sudo vim ~/.bashrc

you add at the end

export PATH="$PATH:/folder/subfolder/"

you save and you will have that value in the PATH in each session

Answer 2

You will need to modify the PATH variable as follows:

PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/mbdyn/bin"
