Export environment variable Mac

I am starting with spring-roo, so I downloaded it and now I'm trying to export the variable.
To get it, I tried:

PATH=$PATH:/Users/myUsr/spring-roo/bin
export PATH

PATH variable

my-Name-3:~ myUsr$ echo $PATH /sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/Users/myUsr/spring-roo/bin

In this path (/Users/myUsr/spring-roo/bin), there is roo.sh

But then, I can not run the command roo as it is supposed to be.

Is there an executable roo in /Users/myUsr/spring-roo/bin? Where did you try the commands listed? Commands seem reasonable; if you issue these in a terminal window and then issue roo it should work. What does echo $PATH say? - 9000
Yes, in that dir there is roo.sh. when I type echo $PATH: my-Name-3:~ myUsr$ echo $PATH /sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/Users/myUsr/spring-roo/bin - Blanca Hdez

You are not supposed to be able to run a command roo (no .sh), when all you have is roo.sh. Run roo.sh instead. There is no magic dropping of extensions in Unix.

Are you in the directory where the root.sh is ? Just give a try by being in that directory to run the shell script. Also check the permissions of the file.
