$ echo "export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin" >> $HOME/.bash_profile

This seems to mess up the default OSX terminal colors.

If you're on OSX, this should probably be .profile instead of .bash_profile should fix it, I think.

I'm using OS X since Snow Leopard and it's .bash_profile for me too. I think we can include instructions to install it with Homebrew too, it's a lot easier.

It's not about Mac OS, it's about bash. bash uses .profile (from sh) only when .bash_profile is not present. @Miserlou was probably using .profile, so the command:

$ echo "export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin" >> $HOME/.bash_profile

created the .bash_profile containing only "export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin", and this just messed up his environment.

@douglascamata: it seems reasonable to add homebrew instructions, or just tell "put this in your PATH".

@Miserlou: please s/bash_profile/profile in the command above when running in your machine.

Ah, okay, I guess I thought bash took different parameters. Since I didn't have a .bash_profile, perhaps just .profile is the OSX convention and the docs should be changed still? I'm new to OSX (linux traitor looking to repatriate), so I'm not super certain of the conventions.

.profile is legacy from sh.

bash supports it for backward compatibility only, you should use .bash_profile.
