Micro Focus Visual COBOL 2.3 Update 1 for Eclipse (UNIX) > Welcome > Product Information > Installation > Installing Micro Focus Visual COBOL Development Hub > Installing Visual COBOL Development Hub > After Installing > Setting up the product

Setting up the product

To set up your product, execute:

. /opt/microfocus/VisualCOBOL/bin/cobsetenv

To verify that your product is installed, execute:
```
cob -V
```

Important: These commands set the environment only for the current shell. You need to execute them for each new shell that you start.

To avoid having to run cobsetenv for every shell, add these commands to the shell initialization files (such as etc/profile, etc/bashrc).

Note that cobsetenv is only compatible with POSIX-like shells, such as bash, ksh, or XPG4 sh. It is not compatible with C-shell or pre-XPG4 Bourne shell.
