3. Scroll down to the end of the .zshrc or .bash_profile file.
4. Use the export command to add new environment variables:
export [variable_name]=[variable_value]
Example: export CF_DISABLE_APP_AUTO_UPDATE=True
5. Save any changes you made to the .zshrc or .bash_profile file.
6. Execute the new .zshrc or .bash_profile by either restarting the terminal window or using:
source ~/.zshrc
or
source ~/.bash_profile
7. Verify Environment Variable:
echo $CF_DISABLE_APP_AUTO_UPDATE
