i am unable to set classpath

When I try to add classpath using export CLASSPATH=/location, it updates the CLASSPATH temporarily.

When I look at the classpath using echo $CLASSPATH, I can see that the changes are updated in classpath, but when I close and reopen the terminal, I can not see the update which I did.

Tell me how to add a classpath permanently.

The export CLASSPATH=/location command will work only for the current terminal session. To make the changes permanent add the line

export CLASSPATH=/location

to ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile
