I think that should be fine. It may increase the vulnerability to permissions issues, but those are hard to predict anyway. |

Yeah, this makes sense to me and generally seems to be the route that brew, rbenv, nvm and others take 👍 |

This is an alternative to #41.
It changes the global installation path from a custom one that need a new
$PATHentry, to the standard/usr/local/bin. The installed file is still symlinked to Mint's own directory.This greatly simplifies things and keeps Mint out of peoples bash configs.
Mint asks for confirmation before trying to overwrite or remove an existing executable that is not symlinked to mint.
With this method, I'd be more comfortable making Mint install globally by default
