2. Set the required environment variable.
   • To configure it on Linux, perform the following steps:
     1. Run the vi ~/.bashrc command in any directory as the running user to open the .bashrc file, and append the following content to the file (the default installation path of a non-root user is used as an example):

     3. Run the source ~/.bashrc command for the modification to take effect immediately.
