Only needed if you plan on using scripts that rely on your project specific command/telemetry definitions or other configuration outside of the project folder. |

| RUBYOPT | Always passes specific command line options to the ruby interpretor |
| GEM_PATH | Provides one or more paths to where gems may reside |

| EDITOR | Text editor used on linux if COSMOS_TEXT is not defined, and VISUAL is not defined, and gedit is not present |
| PATH | PATH controls what executables are available to COSMOS when it shells out to tools. It also affects the dynamic library search on some platforms. |
