single command
if want set environment variables single node command, can this:

if want permanently set environment variable user, edit ~/.bash_profile , add following line:
export user="billybob" this automatically set given environment variable each time create new terminal session.
existing entire current session
lastly, if want set environment variable current session, run it's own command:
