Wrong installation path

[einarpersson]

The README says

Installation Directory

The install script respects the following priority order for the installation path:

    $OPENCODE_INSTALL_DIR - Custom installation directory
    $XDG_BIN_DIR - XDG Base Directory Specification compliant path
    $HOME/bin - Standard user binary directory (if exists or can be created)
    $HOME/.opencode/bin - Default fallback

But when I run

❯ XDG_BIN_DIR=$HOME/.local/bin curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/install | bash
Downloading opencode version: 0.14.7 ...

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

• Feature Request: Respect OPENCODE_INSTALL_DIR, XDG_BIN_DIR, $HOME/bin, and Fallback for Installation Path #1124: This exact feature was requested and implemented - XDG_BIN_DIR support was added to respect the installation directory priority order (OPENCODE_INSTALL_DIR → XDG_BIN_DIR → HOME/bin → HOME/.opencode/bin fallback)

The fact that your XDG_BIN_DIR setting is being ignored suggests this might be a regression or the implementation may not be working as expected. Feel free to ignore if #1124 doesn't address your specific case.

I think if you do that the env var isnt being passed to the script invocation that only passes it to curl which would have no effect

Well, the snippet is from the README.md

Maybe a sidenote, but is $XDG_BIN_DIR from the spec even? can't find much info about it online when searching. I have seen $XDG_BIN_HOME also but not sure if that is official either? I was also a bit surprised that $HOME/bin is a default but not $HOME/.local/bin, but I'm not an expert in these matters.

User-specific executable files may be stored in $HOME/.local/bin. Distributions should ensure this directory shows up in the UNIX $PATH environment variable, at an appropriate place.

facepalm oops okay ill fix, I think the script has a bug in it for this anyways, thx for raising

Hmm i think u are right about XDG_BIN_DIR that doesn't look liek its real, someone linked the spec and mentioned it but ig they were mistaken:

#1124

The installer script doesn't appear to refer to the OPENCODE_INSTALL_DIR env var anywhere at the moment, though it does unconditionally set INSTALL_DIR=$HOME/.opencode/bin:

opencode/install

INSTALL_DIR=$HOME/.opencode/bin
