Source the appropriate settings script:

For Bash as user login shell:
```
$ source <path-to-installed-PetaLinux>/settings.sh
```

For C shell as user login shell:

$ source <path-to-installed-PetaLinux>/settings.csh

Below is an example of the output when sourcing the setup script for the first time:

PetaLinux environment set to '/opt/pkg/petalinux'
INFO: Checking free disk space
INFO: Checking installed tools
INFO: Checking installed development libraries
INFO: Checking network and other services
WARNING: No tftp server found - please refer to "UG1144 <petalinux-version> PetaLinux Tools Documentation Reference Guide" for its impact and solution

Verify that the working environment has been set:
```
$ echo $PETALINUX
```
Example output: /opt/pkg/petalinux

Environment variable $PETALINUX should point to the installed PetaLinux path. The output may be different from this example based on the PetaLinux installation path.
