Ubuntu change sudo php path

Question

I was struggling with apache2 already installed in ubuntu so I decided to return back to lampp..I have unistalled apache 2 mysql server and phpmyadmin. The problem is that when I type sudo which php I get nothing...

So I cannot request e.g. sudo composer create-project laravel/laravel.....

since php is missing for root user..

Although when I type which php I get /opt/lampp/bin/php..

Is it possible to make the root user use the same path..?

Answer 1

You can do this:

Switch to root user

sudo su -

Edit the .bashrc

vi ~/.bashrc

And add a new path to the current one:

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/lampp/bin
