2. Define the following variables and source call in your start-up script (.bash_profile for example).

   For example:

   # Chief Environment
   CHIEF_CONFIG="$HOME/.chief_config.sh"                                                                                                          
   CHIEF_PATH="$HOME/dev/repos/github/chief"
   source ${CHIEF_PATH}/chief.sh

3. That's it. You're ready to use Chief! Restart your terminal.

   • chief.[tab] to see available built-in commands.
   • chief.config to edit your config.
