~/.profile is executed only when the shell is a login shell, otherwise
~/.bashrc is executed.

(there is no manpage for ".", try "help ." without the quotes.)
so it's better to set the PATH in ~/.bashrc because this will be
executed whenever you start a new shell.
For a system-wide installation look for a file /etc/bashrc or
/etc/bash/bashrc.

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
