I recently switched to Garuda Linux and was trying to set-up development environment for react-native. I just wanted to know how do I export my ANDROID_HOME within .baschrc for global environment variables. It uses pacman as package manager.
I'm a total new to any Linux environment and I don't know anything about it's file system and commands.
And yes I searched and tried almost all the methods I could find on this topic. I also asked this in the Garuda Forum but they just closed my topic without properly answering. I cannot seem to find what exactly I'm doing wrong. Please help and guide me through the steps.
How do I set up global Environment Variables in Garuda Linux?

You'll want to add these lines to one of your environment configs:
export ANDROID_HOME=/path/to/your/android/sdk # change this
export PATH="$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools"
export PATH="$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools"
The specific config will depend on how global you want it to be and how your configs are sourced, but in general:
- Global variables:
/etc/profile - User variables:
~/.bashrcor~/.bash_profile
Garuda uses fish by default. You can save your path in config.fish.
For example, if I want to export environment variable for PHP, then I will have to write
set PATH $PATH /opt/lampp/bin:$PATH
And then paste this code to file config.fish.
You can also paste code in ~/.profile. as fish's config is automatically set to read ~/.profile.
Similarly for android, it will probably like
set ANDROID_HOME ~/.android # /opt/android-sdk
Also check out the fish docs & https://fishshell.com/docs/current/language.html#variables-export for more details.

You have to add the Environment variable in the system. well, you can use the above example. Here I am trying a different approach.
open terminal
sudo nano ~./bashrc
Save your variable in the file and save it.
# .bashrc file
export VAR="My permanent variable"
That's it
