-Setting up PATH.
+Setting up **PATH**.
 Many programs need to know where to find specific files, and the PATH variable tells them where they can find what they need. Those programs automatically look for a PATH variable, so you don’t have to type it all in every time you run the program. This variable has a value consisting of many user directories. These directories are set by the different applications installed on the computer, and they vary widely from system to system.
 The concept of environment variables exists in most operating systems, from Linux to macOS to Windows. In principle, they mean the same thing but the way they are implemented and used differs.
