Environment Variables

The environment variables are settings by which users can customize a computer to suit their needs. Examples of environment variables include the following items:

• A default directory for searching or storing downloaded files.
• A username.
• A list of locations to search for executable files (path).

Windows operating environments allow global environment variables, which apply to all users of a computer. The environment variables on UNIX or Linux operating environments must be set for each user or program.

To set the locale variable, pick the procedure for your operating environment from the following list:

• Set the locale variable on Windows operating environments.
• Set the locale variable on UNIX or Linux operating environments.
