How to set Windows shell env variable? The term 'C:\Users\stojko\' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet

Question

I thought this would work

PS C:\Users\stojko> $env:Path = C:\Users\stojko\
C:\Users\stojko\ : The term 'C:\Users\stojko\' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the
path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:13
+ $env:Path = C:\Users\stojko\
+             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (C:\Users\stojko\:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

If I go for

$env

shows nothing.

$profile output

C:\Users\stojko\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1

Answer 1

It is a string you need to set:

$env:Path = "C:\Users\stojko\"

and if you want to add it to the existing list:

$env:Path += ";C:\Users\stojko\"
