After you create your ~/bin directory, you need to source your .profile by typing in the terminal . .profile

The .profile and the .bashc should be sourced when you open a terminal. However, many Debian-based distributions won't source the .profile when you open a terminal. (I also saw this in a recent Mint 19.3 install). In this case, you can add the following line to the end of your .bashrc:

Code:

[ -d "$HOME/bin" ] && PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"

Then source the .bashrc with . .bashrc
