Use Of Export Environment Variable Listed

In Ubuntu export command is used to set environment variable once and it is used in the prompt and not in the Shell script.

To set the environment variable everytime, you need to use the export command in .bashrc file or whatever the appropriate file is for your shell.

To set the environment variable from a script you need to set it up there and then export the source of the script.
