  2. Select Environment variables.
  3. Double click to create a new row, set the name for the new variable, and set field value as the path to the program.

  2. Go to the row of the desired file type. Set field Executed with as the variable in format $(VARIABLE_NAME).
  3. You may also opt to edit the file type within the built-in text editor of Kactus2, although this should be considered mostly as a fall-back.
