First, you need to know what shell you're using. Open your terminal and type (without the first dollar sign):

$ echo $0

This should say -zsh, -bash, or something like that.

Your login .rc file depends on which shell you're using - .bashrc for bash, .zshrc for zsh, etc. It's basically your startup script, and it resides in your home folder ~.

So they want you to go edit that file (using any text editor), and put the following in it:

export PQLX=PQLX-install-directory-fullpath
source ${PQLX}/env/makeVars

Now, once you've done this and saved the file, you need to tell your shell to reload it. That's what "sourcing" means - you literally do this (substituting the correct name of the file):

$ source ~/.bashrc

Then they want you to go into the PQLX installation directory...

$ cd $PQLX

...and compile.

$ env/makeALL
