(From in the main Mirage directory)
echo export MIRAGE=\"$PWD\" >> ~/.bashrc            #setup MIRAGE enviroment variable (modify this for other shells)
echo export PATH=${PATH}:$MIRAGE/bin >> ~/.bashrc   #add the mirage bin dir to your PATH
source ~/.bashrc                                    #re-run the .bashrc file
