what is PATH on the MAC (UNIX) system

what is PATH on the MAC (UNIX) system

im trying to setup a project , storm from git
https://github.com/nathanmarz/storm/wiki/Setting-up-development-environment
Download a Storm release , unpack it, and put the unpacked bin/ directory
on your PATH
My question is what is PATH mean, what exactly they want me to do ?
Sometimes I see some /bin/path , $PATH, echo PATH
can someone explain the concept of the PATH , so I can setup everything
easily in the future without just blindly following the instructions?
