How to set GROOVY_HOME environment variable on Ubuntu

I am a novice, who is new to Linux and I am trying to set GROOVY_HOME environment variable. Note sure if this is the right step:

GROOVY_HOME='/usr/share/groovy'

Also trying to add $GROOVY_HOME/bin to my $PATH environment variable, but I am not too sure on how to do this. Any ideas/steps on what to do would be appreciated.

Create the file /etc/profile.d/groovy.sh by opening a terminal window and running this command:

sudo -H gedit /etc/profile.d/groovy.sh

Give the file this contents:

export GROOVY_HOME=/usr/share/groovy
PATH="$PATH:$GROOVY_HOME/bin"

Then save, log out and log in again.
