Installing Linaro on Ubuntu 18.04

Question

I am following this guide to install Linaro on my Ubuntu 18.04 machine (64-bit Duo core). Unlike the guide, I want to have the latest Linaro version. Thus, these are the commands I use:

sudo apt-get install aptitude

sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib

wget -c https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/latest/arm-linux-gnueabihf/gcc-linaro-7.3.1-2018.05-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz --no-check-certificate

tar xf gcc-linaro-7.3.1-2018.05-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz

export CC=`pwd`/gcc-linaro-7.3.1-2018.05-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-

{CC}gcc --version

It fails at the last line, complaining:

{CC}gcc: command not found

Can somebody enlighten me? What have I done wrong? This process previously failed when I used Linaro 6.4.1 as in the guide. Thank you so much in advance.

As N0rbert pointed out, I put the $ in there. The output is:

gcc (Ubuntu 7.3.0-16ubuntu3) 7.3.0

Linaro is nowhere to be found. How does that export command work, and why is not not doing what it should?

@N0rbert, I added the `$` sign. I still dont get the expected output. — J. Doe, Aug 30 '18 at 02:33
OK, somebody told me to use `echo ${CC}` and it worked afterwards. No clue why. — J. Doe, Aug 30 '18 at 05:17

Download Linaro and add path at the bottom of your ~/.bashrc file.

PATH=$PATH:"Path_to_Linaro_Extract_Directory/bin"
