"HOME" and "PATH" are so-called "environment" variables.
You can change them in the initialization files of your shell (command-line
interpreter).  Which file depends on which shell you use: Try the command
"echo $SHELL" to find out.

If it is "bash", you can add something like the following lines in the
".bash_profile" file in your home directory [1]:

#---CUT---
# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d ~/bin ] ; then
    PATH=~/bin:"${PATH}"
fi
#---CUT---

Best,
Gilles
