edit PATH variable using command line in widows 10

Question

I was trying to edit %path% variable using command line in windows 10, following this tutorial, but pathman/au was not recognized. What should be the right approach to do that?

Answer 1

In order to use this tool you need to install Windows resource kit tools ‘pathman.exe‘

Alternatively you can use this directly on the command line:

setx path "%path%;c:\directoryPath"

To add a new path variable to the %path% script. (You can use the option /M for system PATH variable)
