Your command is incorrect:

if [ -f " $HOME/.bash_profile " ] ; then

The quoted test argument includes spaces between the quotes.  Removed them an it will work

e.g.,  [ -f "$HOME/.bash_profile" ]


The trailing ";" is only necessary in the command is on one line:

   source $HOME/.bash_profile ;



if [ -f " $HOME/.bash_profile " ] ; then

The quoted test argument includes spaces between the quotes.  Removed them an it will work

e.g.,  [ -f "$HOME/.bash_profile" ]


Here the trailing ";" is only necessary if the command is on one line:

   source $HOME/.bash_profile ;
