Re: [ferret_users] Installation problem

[Karl Smith - NOAA Affiliate <karl.smith@xxxxxxxx>]

You need to source the ferret_paths script in your own shell to set the environment variables, 

including adding the directory ferret is in to PATH.  You need to do this each time you open a 

new shell (command line window).  You can add this source command to one of the standard 

start-up files to do this automatically when you start a new shell.  See the man page for bash

on that.

What you did as root just environment variables for root which then went away when you

closed that window.
