How to add directory to PATH on kaggle?

How to add directory to PATH on kaggle ?

Standard way (see e.g. discussion here ) !export PATH=/root/edirect/:$PATH

does not work

See example: https://www.kaggle.com/alexandervc/entrezdirect?scriptVersionId=70892045&cellId=17

It might be that "t looks like each command in that pipe is being executed in a separate shell and that is why you are losing the $PATH setting for those sub shells." as proposed here. That would possibly imply that it is impossible to do something with that issue.

PS More generally I am trying to use EntrezDirect on kaggle, see the first answer here: https://www.biostars.org/p/9483310/#9483333

Solution

  • Solution (thanks to Leigh.plt from ODS ) :

    os.environ['PATH'] = "/kaggle/working:" + os.environ['PATH']
