(solved) Setting yaourt default editor

Whenever I install something from yaourt, it'll ask me if I want to edit the pkgbuild. Then it'll say "Please add EDITOR to your environment variables". How do I add it so it uses my chosen editor by default?

Set the environment variable "EDITOR". For example, in my .bashrc I have:

export EDITOR="vim"
