Adding variables to PATH in Prolog
In the HPC cluster I manage for more than 5 years, I have all the application variables like PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH export via Lmod (or Environment Modules). Each application will have its own modulefile to load when needed and the modulefile are only available on the nodes that are intended to run the application. Users will just need to load the module using module load command to have the variable exported.

Pounding my head on the wall
Modules, in this context, refer to Environment Modules). The article would be better than any summary I could hastily provide, but I would recommend the functionally equivalent Lmod as an alternative. Furthermore, I would strongly recommend managing software installation via EasyBuild.
