TEXStudio does not detect TeXLive2015

Question

Today I installed TeX Studio. But it doesn't detect my texlive 2015! When I start TeX Studio, the message pops up:

there was no latex distribution found [...]

The path to my texlive 2015 is ~/.local/texlive

lualatex in terminal results:

~/.local/texlive$ lualatex
This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.80.0 (TeX Live 2015) (rev 5238) 
 restricted \write18 enabled.

I wasn't able to set up TeX Studio manually. So I'm hoping for an automatic setup when TeX Studio detects my texlive2105!

Maybe it doesn't detect it because it's in a hidden folder?

Upgrade to Wily and install texlive-full (2015.20150625-1ubuntu1) — A.B., Oct 23 '15 at 17:40
how do I make sure do uninstall the old texlive? I installed it using the install-tl.tar + this command: TEXLIVE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/.local/texlive install-tl-/install-tl and also this command: echo export PATH="$(echo ~/.local/texlive//bin/*):$PATH" >> ~/.bashrc — lrsp, Oct 23 '15 at 17:49
If texlive is in ~/.local/texlive, run rm -r ~/.local/texlive. But I have no idea, without seeing the installer, what the installer has done. — A.B., Oct 23 '15 at 17:51
Ok, and remove the entry in your PATH. But that's not really necessary. — A.B., Oct 23 '15 at 17:52
How can I open my "PATH"? Is it a file or what is it? (yup, totally new to Linux) — lrsp, Oct 23 '15 at 17:57

Because you asked for an alternative, texlive-full (2015.20150625-1ubuntu1) is in the Wily repositories.

Upgrade to Wily and install texlive-full:
```
sudo apt-get install texlive-full
```
Remove your manually installed version
```
rm -r ~/.local/texlive
```
and correct the PATH in your .bashrc:

Because you have added the PATH with
```
echo export PATH=\"$(echo ~/.local/texlive/*/bin/):\$PATH\" >> ~/.bashrc
```
remove the entry with the command
```
sed -i '/.local\/texlive/d' ~/.bashrc
```
