README Option B for adding scripts to PATH referenced ~/.bash_profile, which is Bash-specific and not sourced on all Linux distros. Replaced with ~/.profile for broader compatibility.

Changes

  • README.md: Updated Option B heading and commands to use ~/.profile
# Before
echo 'export PATH=~/scripts:$PATH' >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile

# After
echo 'export PATH=~/scripts:$PATH' >> ~/.profile
source ~/.profile
