I'm trying to set AVARIABLE in my bash_profile:

echo export "AVARIABLE=example" >> ~/.bash_profile

then

source ~/.bash_profile

After that, AVARIABLE should be working, but...

bash: AVARIABLE: command not found

What in the hell could be causing this?

To reference an environment variable, you'd need to preface it with $ : $AVARIABLE
