Answer 2

- It is not recommended to edit system scripts unnecessarily (outside of homework). Yes, no one forbade this, but the system may not count on the presence of edits there and stupidly rewrite it, for example. Edit .bashrc.
- It is not recommended to knock down the previous PATH value - it may already be set and set very loosely by system scripts. Use the method described by danwerspb
- what does the "which laravel" command output?
