Using setx command to add a path to the PATH environment variable

 If you're seeing a message like command is not recognized on Terminal tool window in IntelliJ IDEA or command prompt,  you have the option to permanently add a path to the PATH environment variable using the elevated command prompt with the setx command:

setx /M path "%path%;C:\Program Files\Git\bin"

setx /M path "%path%;C:\Gradle\bin"

Note: path to the bin directory may vary on your system.
