I just installed picc-9.82.9453-linux.run from Microchip website, and at the end it asked me

==> NOTE: You may wish to add the following  

   /usr/hitech/picc/9.82/bin  

   to your PATH environment variable.

What does it mean?

I also need to add this to the environment path:

/usr/hitech/picc-18/pro/9.66/bin

PATH is an enviroment variable. It basically tells your machine where to search for programs, so when you run your picc program you can just do this:

picc

instead of

/usr/hitech/picc/9.82/bin/picc

To add a directory to your $PATH, follow either one of the options below.

Edit ~/.profile:

gedit ~/.profile

find the following line:

PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"

and change it to:

PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH:/usr/hitech/picc/9.82/bin"

Run the command below in the terminal:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/hitech/picc/9.82/bin
