You are indeed right. I tried zsh and bash and neither of those sources
`~/.profile`. Looks like we should update our guide.
Can you please create an upstream issue at
`https://github.com/developer-portal/content`?
Just for the record, easiest solution to the problem will be probably to put the
environment variable to `~/.bashrc` (or `~/.zshrc`) -- depends what shell you are
using.
Thank you for your interest in portal!
