Manual Install

First, download or clone this repository to your computer. Then choose one of the options below.

Use this if you want to install version to somewhere other than /usr/local/bin/.

• Place the file version in a directory that is in your PATH variable:

  • To see what's in your PATH variable on Linux, open a terminal and type

    echo $PATH
    

  • The different directories are separated by :. Either move version to one of these, or append another directory to PATH like this (assuming you are using bash):

    export PATH=/your/new/directory:$PATH
    

    When using fish, use this command instead:

    set PATH "$PATH:/your/new/directory"
    

    Put the appropriate line in your ~/.bashrc file to make this change persistent. When you are using zsh, put it in ~/.zshrc instead. For fish users, the right file is ~/.config/fish/config.fish.

• Now, you are ready to use version wherever you are in the filesystem!
