Changing the PATH variable on FReeBSD

Question

I am trying to install Maven on FreeBSD (version 10.0-RELEASE-p7) using the following documentation

I am using 'setenv' instead of 'export' to set my variables. However when I try to add maven to my path I get the following error

setenv: Variable name must contain alphanumeric characters.

This is the command I am trying to use

setenv PATH=${M2_HOME}/bin:${PATH}

Anybody knows a workaround?

The correct syntax for the setenv command in the C shell is

setenv VAR "value"
