There is one for each user, in the user's home directory. The ~ in front of the / simply means 'my home directory'. The . (period) is the first character of the filename, and makes it a hidden file. I think the file is more commonly called .profile
If you don't have any of these two files, you can just create one of them. 
Do an 'ls -a' to see hidden files also.
