Linux installation

[Peter186]

The Linux installation instructions on https://alire.ada.dev/docs/#first-steps say to add alr to the environment variable PATH, by running

export PATH=<PATH_TO_EXTRACTED>/bin/:$PATH

Should this not be

export PATH=<PATH_TO_EXTRACTED>:$PATH ?

Thanks and regards.

No, because the zip file has the alr binary inside a bin folder. So by default if you extract honoring paths it will be as the instructions show.

Of course in the end the path must point to where you place the alr binary, that you can put wherever you want. There are no dependencies on other files in the zip.

Alejandro, Doh, I can see that, now! Many thanks for taking the time to explain it to me. Peter
