I'm not able to execute any unix commands on my Mac OS Terminal. I was adding a path to my Scala Installation Location.

1You'll have to restore your path variable some how. If you just set the variable in one terminal window, just start another one and the path should work. Otherwise you'll need to figure out what PATH should be on your system.hawk– hawk2013-11-12 02:23:07 +00:00Commented Nov 12, 2013 at 2:23

I don't get it. Open another terminal window and open the .bash_profile? It gives me the same error on top of the window. "-bash: export: `Setup/Languages/scala-2.10.3/bin:??': not a valid identifier"AppSensei– AppSensei2013-11-12 02:25:12 +00:00Commented Nov 12, 2013 at 2:25

You've broken your $PATH environment variable, by the looks of it in ~/.bash_profile.
To fix:
Start Terminal.app (with error message as you posted).
Manually set
$PATH:export PATH=/usr/bin:/binEdit your
~/.bash_profile:vi ~/.bash_profileRemove the
??characters from the scala path. That looks like it might be an invisible character, so I would recommend deleting the line and retyping it.Save and test.

You will never understand how much this saved me!
It sounds like you've replaced your path, rather than appended the path to Scala. You'll now need to use the full path to commands and then you'll be able to restore the path.
You can call vi from /usr/bin/vim
