GRASS_ADDON_PATH is an environment variable, not a GRASS variable;
setting it in ~/.grassrc5 won't have any effect. You would have to set
it in your shell's initialisation files (e.g. /etc/profile, ~/.profile
etc; check the manual page for your shell to determine which files are
read).

Again, GRASS_WISH is an environment variable, not a GRASS variable.
