rem append c:\bin to the system Path variable:
path_set -n c:\bin
rem prepend c:\usr\local\bin and c:\bin to the system Path:
path_set -n -p c:\usr\local\bin c:\bin
rem Add "C:\Program Files\Java\bin" to the system Path:
path_set -n "C:\Program Files\Java\bin"
or, even better:
rem add or replace JAVA_HOME with %ProgramFiles%\Java
path_set -n -r -x -v JAVA_HOME `ProgramFiles`\Java

path_set -n `JAVA_HOME`\bin
To verify a release, download the .zip, .sha256, and .asc files for the release (replacing path_set-1.5-win32.zip with the release you are verifying):
$ wget https://github.com/rasa/path_set/releases/download/v1.5/path_set-1.5-win32.zip{,.sha256,.asc}
Next, check that sha256sum reports "OK":
$ sha256sum -c path_set-1.5-win32.zip.sha256
path_set-1.5-win32.zip: OK
Lastly, check that GPG reports "Good signature":
$ gpg --keyserver hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key 0x105a5225b6ab4b22
$ gpg --verify path_set-1.5-win32.zip.asc path_set-1.5-win32.zip
gpg: using RSA key 0xFF914F74B4BB6EF3
gpg: Good signature from "Ross Smith II <ross@smithii.com>" [ultimate]
