.bashrc is only read on startup. If you just modified your .bashrc then you need to get a new shell or get your current shell to see the changes applied:

• source ~/.bashrc in your current shell (although this may cause some startup items to run twice, which could cause other issues)
• exec bash to get a new shell
• just open a new Terminal window
