My .bashrc file before updating is as below and my Hadoop worked as well: 

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64
HADOOP_INSTALL=/usr/local/hadoop
PATH=$PATH:$HADOOP_INSTALL/bin
PATH=$PATH:$HADOOP_INSTALL/sbin
HADOOP_MAPRED_HOME=$HADOOP_INSTALL
HADOOP_COMMON_HOME=$HADOOP_INSTALL
HADOOP_HDFS_HOME=$HADOOP_INSTALL
YARN_HOME=$HADOOP_INSTALL
HADOOP_COMMON_LIB_NATIVE_DIR=$HADOOP_INSTALL/lib/native
HADOOP_OPTS="-Djava.library.path=$HADOOP_INSTALL/lib"

I just added two paths as below

$ export HBASE_HOME="/home/hadoop/hbase/hbase-0.98.18-hadoop2"
PATH="$HBASE_HOME/bin:$PATH"

but most commands (as su username or clear or sudo etc.) are not working. When I wanted to change the .bashrc, I see this error:

How can I reach .bashrc to change it?

You do not have /usr/bin in your path. To run sudo you have to type the whole path for sudo

/usr/bin/sudo nano .bashrc

If /bin is also not in your path you will specify the full path for nano like this

/usr/bin/sudo /bin/nano .bashrc

And finally you might also need to provide the path for .bashrc

/usr/bin/sudo /bin/nano ~/.bashrc

or

/usr/bin/sudo /bin/nano $HOME/.bashrc

or

/usr/bin/sudo /bin/nano /home/<username>/.bashrc

where you replace the <username> with the username that you have. And in the end you need to find out how did you manage to corrupt your $PATH.
