<p>There are sometimes reasons why this method may not work (I think
Ubuntu does have a particular limitation in this regard)</p>
<p>One option is you can create a shortcut on the menu and pass the
variable value in that shortcut.<br>
</p>
For example one of the Qgis shortcuts on the Whiskers menu in XFCE
on my computer uses this command to start a version of Qgis that I
built from source and installed to a different path:<br>
<br>
env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/patrick/<wbr>apps/lib
/home/patrick/apps/bin/qgis<br>
<br>
where env is passing that variable into the environment that Qgis
starts with.<div><div class="m_-8213820957429209105h5"><br>

<div>Dear all,<br>
<br>
</div>
I want to use the <code class="m_-8213820957429209105m_-3457585042417144660gmail-docutils m_-8213820957429209105m_-3457585042417144660gmail-literal"><span class="m_-8213820957429209105m_-3457585042417144660gmail-pre">QGIS_PLUGINPATH</span></code>
environment variable to point to the directory
where my plugin are located but did not manage to
get it work.<br>
<br>
</div>
I'm on Ubuntu16.04 and running QGIS 2.18.<br>
<br>
</div>
I set the variable in terminal by:<br>
$ export
QGIS_PLUGINPATH=~/QGIS_Plugins<wbr>/rndf-editor/RNDFEditor/<br>
<br>
</div>
and launch the QGIS in this terminal (I guess in order
to get the variable effective I have to run within the
terminal right?)<br>
<br>
</div>
$ qgis<br>
<br>
</div>
But my plugin still did not get to show under the manu
Plugin.<br>
<br>
</div>
Can anyone advise me the correct way to do it? Thanks.</div>
