Describe the bug
Manual installation guide is largely incomplete.
Expected details (example)
If you can escalate to
root
privileges (withsu
orsudo
or even logging in asroot
), you can make a system-wide installation of thetenv
tool.Untar the package directly to
/usr/bin
or any other directory whose name is listed in the$PATH
directory. As an option, you can untar it into any other directory (e.g./usr/local/tenv
) and then add it to the system-wide$PATH
or even create symlinks from that directory to one already listed in$PATH
.If you cannot escalate to
root
privileges, you need to untar the package into a directory inde your own$HOME
(e.g.~/bin
), add that directory to your local$PATH
(e.g. by using your.profile
or.login
file).Any subsequent call to
tenv
will refer to the calling user$HOME
directory, thus installing, running and listing whatever binaries are present in the local directory (~/.tenv
by default).Additional context
Clear documentation is key to success IMHO.
