Setting up environmental variables in Mac OS X High Sierra 10.13.2 for spark/hadoop/java/python etc

I would like to define environmental variables for Spark on Scala for using in terminal and/or IntelliJ. What is the right way to set it up? My hidden home elements are the following:

$ ls .
./                   .Trash/              .ivy2/
../                  .android/            .matplotlib/
.CFUserTextEncoding  .bash_history        .oracle_jre_usage/
.DS_Store            .bash_sessions/      .sbt/
Solution

  • I found the answer as it can be done by editing(in not exist, creating) file in home directory as the following:

    COMMAND

    MacBook-Pro:~ User$ nano .bash_profile

    TYPE

    export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_161.jdk/Contents/Home
export SCALA_HOME=/<SCALA-folder-path>
export HADOOP_HOME=/<HADOOP-folder-path>
export SPARK_HOME=/<Spark-folder-path>

PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$SCALA_HOME/bin:$SPARK_HOME/bin:$HADOOP_HOME/bin
export PATH
