[SOLVED] Tex-live PATH MANPATH and INFOPATH

Question

Good evening,
Today I finally switched from Ubuntu to Arch. Have to say: excelent Wiki's!
While trying to install Tex-live I was prompted to ass a certain directory to PATH, MANPATH and INFOPATH. I have been google-ing, checking fora, wiki's, but I can' t figure out where to add them. Using export MANPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/doc/man:$MANPATH should only export it for the current session, right? I read somewhere that I should add it in a .profile file (or .bashrc). Though non of the files are existing in the directory where the wiki's guide me. Do you guys know where I should add the PATH,MANPATH and INFOPATH line?
The wiki: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Ins … h_TeX_Live does not explain this part, unfortunately.
Many thanks!

Answer 1

I used the netinstaller:
The arch wiki redirected me to: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Ins … h_TeX_Live
see the minimal installation section.
I ran the script an and the end it told me to add certains paths to PATH, MANPATH and INFOPATH.  There should be a ~/.profile file in ubuntu where I had to add these lines for the enviroment. No clue where I should add these lines in Arch.
Thank you very much for your time.
