Accepted Answer

I added environment variable in .zshrc file after reading comment of @Biswapriyo. like this-


export variable_name=variable_value

and now it works.

I think, at every startup, scripts in .zshrc file are ran so this env variable is addded. If you use bash instead of zsh then you may try adding this in .bashrc file or any other rc file.

You can check if env variable is added or not by


printenv
