Set Up Proxy Environment Variables

Add the following one-liner at the end of .bashrc script:

export {http,https,ftp}_proxy='http://<user>:<password>@<proxy-server>:<port>'

For example: export {http,https,ftp}_proxy='http://10.0.2.2:3128'

For this to take effect, restart terminal or run source with . ~/.bashrc

After that, check for the presence of the environmental variables with printenv | grep proxy

yields the following output:

http_proxy=http://10.0.2.2:3128
ftp_proxy=http://10.0.2.2:3128
https_proxy=http://10.0.2.2:3128
