Question

Whenever I open my terminal, I get the error-bash: export: `=': not a valid identifier in ubuntu

Answer 1

Check your ./bash_profile file and see if there are any white spaces around the = sign. Remove them as in the example below

foo = bar

Would become:

foo=bar

To edit this file I wouldn't recommend a normal text editor as this can use improper quote characters, use an editor like Atom.
