The steps to configure environment variables in CentOS 7 are as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open the terminal and log in to the CentOS 7<\/a> system.<\/li>\n
  2. Open the ~\/.bashrc file using a text editor, such as vi or nano. You can open the file using the following command:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    vi ~\/.bashrc\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      \n
    1. Add the desired environment variables at the end of the file, for example:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      export<\/span> PATH=$PATH<\/span>:\/usr\/local\/bin\r\nexport<\/span> JAVA_HOME=\/usr\/lib\/jvm\/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.191.b12-1.el7_6.x86_64\r\nexport<\/span> MAVEN_HOME=\/usr\/share\/maven\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      Make sure to set the PATH variable to the original value plus the new path.<\/p>\n
        \n
      1. Save and close the file. Press the Esc key in the vi editor, type :wq, and then press Enter to save and close the file.<\/li>\n
      2. To activate the new environment variable, use the following command:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        source<\/span> ~\/.bashrc\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
          \n
        1. Check if the environment variables have been set successfully. You can view the values of the environment variables using the following command:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          echo<\/span> $JAVA_HOME<\/span>\r\necho<\/span> $MAVEN_HOME<\/span>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
          If the output matches the value you have set, it indicates that the environment variable has been successfully configured.<\/p>\n
            \n
          1. You can now use the new environment variable in the system.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
