I was trying to add something to the PATH with :

export PATH=/user/home/sbt/bin

but I removed all of the content of PATH and I can not run any command on the terminal even ls ! So what should I do ? Can I fix it ?

Close the terminal app, and open a new one. The variable will be reset to its original state then.

If you're on a virtual terminal, and not running gnome-terminal or similar under X11, then you can log out and log back in again, to reset the variables. You can type exit to log out, or press Ctrl+D.
