enviromental path

Hi there,
Keen to give this a go! Running on Ubuntu. The install for janet and joy seemed to go just fine, however I can't run this from the command line. Is there a path you could suggest? I've tried adding this, but I don't think its the right file:
export PATH="/usr/local/lib/janet/bin:$PATH"
thanks!
sussed it out, this worked for me:
nano ~/.bashrc
added /usr/local/lib/janet/bin to the end of the export path chain:
export PATH=/usr/share/swift/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/usr/local/lib/janet/bin
reload .bashrc
source .bashrc
if you print out your path, it should be at the end of the chain:
echo $PATH
/usr/share/swift/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/usr/local/lib/janet/bin
My previous answer was dangerous, at least for me. It caused path errors which stopped me from accessing most terminal commands and also the gui interface. The following caused the issues when I placed it in ~/.profile:
export PATH="/usr/local/lib/janet/bin/joy"
