I would like to run echo $PATH bash command, see the result and optionally capture it in a string or array of strings. I started with: julia> run(`echo $PATH`) ERROR: UndefVarError: PATH not defined julia> run(`echo \$PATH`) $PATH which doesn’t work.

You need to invoke a shell that interprets the $ for you:

run(`bash -c "echo \$PATH"`)
