The variables set in
the operating system take priority over any settings in the Maya.env
file. However, when Maya verifies the environment settings, it may
add default settings.
- On Linux, you can use setenv to set environment variables.
You can add commands to your .cshrc file
to make sure the environment variables are always available.
setenv MAYA_SCRIPT_PATH /remote/scriptDisk/scriptFiles/
- On the Maya command line, you can use
the MEL command putenv to
set environment variables.
putenv "MAYA_SCRIPT_PATH" "/remote/scriptDisk/scriptFiles/";
- On Windows, right-click My Computer and
choose Properties (or double-click System in the control panel),
then click the Advanced tab, and click Environment Variables.
- On Mac OS X, you can set environment
variables in a shell as described above in the Linux section. However,
those variables will only be available if you run Maya from the
shell. If you run Maya from the Dock, it will not use any of the
environment variables from your shell. Therefore, on Mac OS X, it
is strongly suggested that you place your environment variable settings
in a Maya.env file.
