The .bash_profile is in your home directory and is executed when you
login. You can use vi or any other text editor to modify this file. Any
file that stars with a "dot" is hidden from the ls command unless you
provide the -a option. So in your home directory, type:

ls -a

You'll see a lot of hidden config files. Edit .bash_profile and save your
changes. Next, logout and log back in and you should be golden.
