Permissions to run

[josephernest]

Congrats for this great project!

What do you recommend to use it?

• put lacy in a myscript/ directory which is in your PATH? (then I need to chmod +x lacy, is that right?)

• or put it anywhere and do an alias in .bashrc to be able to use it from anywhere?

Thanks !

Yes, all those ways are correct.

That is what the install.sh script does :

• create a /home/you/bin if absent
• add bin/ to PATH
• update .bashrc
• hardlink lacy to bin
• chmod it

Please tell me if the script works for you.
Maybe this script should be advertized in the README ?

Good idea!
Not sure if /home/user1/bin or /home/user1/.bin is a standard practice to store personal scripts, or if there's a dedicated directory for this (/usr/bin/? sbin? etc.). Would be cool to ask someone wiser than me to know the most usual usages about this :)

I took the liberty to re-open your thread.

Yes ~/bin is common practice.
You can see it in .profile :

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
    PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
