I opt to close as off-topic, your question is "how do I set the PATH in bash/MacOSX" hardly related to bioinformatics, even if you want to set the path to blast.

setenv is a csh/tcsh shell command. As your screenshot shows, your terminal is using the BASH shell, not the CSH shell.

Solution 1: install csh and try again. Solution 2 - use the BASH shell syntax:

export PATH=$PATH:/Users/markfisher/ncbi-blast-2.2.25+/bin
