how to set enviroment variable in debian

Asked by Marius Pfeffer

Hello

Are there instructions how to set the enviroment variable in Debian Wheezy ?
I Have unpacked the tarball in the /opt folder, but can't find a way to set the enviroment variable.

Or can you make a repsitory to install the toolchain with apt-get ?

Thanks :)

I usually use Ubuntu and haven't tried Debian. Does command like "export PATH=/opt/gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_8/bin:$PATH" work for you?

And for repository, we only have one for Ubuntu so far.
