Windows 10: Seemingly Duplicate PATH

I needed to add a new path into the system variable, but I cannot since it says path exceeds 1049 or something along the lines. So, I looked at it and found some paths that seemed to be duplicate but I am hesitant to delete it since it is related to the system. I am wondering if it is safe to delete and if so which ones should I delete? Thank you

Add a path to $PATH?

what exactly do you need to decipher about that path line? also, what are you installing? perhaps i can help.

 

Add a path to $PATH?

Yeah, I think you're right. I think the purpose of the echo command was to check if ~/bin was in the $PATH file. My problem is that I can't decipher the output and I don't know how to add ~/bin to the $PATH file.

Just for clarification, the snippet of instructions I gave is just a few steps in the installation process. Nothing is actually supposed to be installed with those steps.

Thanks for the reply.

 

Path Entries with BAT or REG

If you wanted to start thinking about using Powershell, here's a starter for 10:

It looks as though you could simply define $INCLUDE as you wish.


Then there's pathed which appears to support including semicolon separated lists.
