Dang's scripts repo

The easy way

Here's how to use dang's scripts repo the easy way:

  • Download scripts-setup
  • Decide on an install location. Something in /usr/local for a globan install, something in ${HOME} for a local install. Call this ${INSTALLDIR}
  • As some user with write access to that dir, run: 
    scripts-setup ${INSTALLDIR}
  • For each other user than needs access, run: 
    ${INSTALLDIR}/scripts-setup ${INSTALLDIR}
  • As each user, customize ${HOME}/.bash_local

    • NOTE: This is where *all* local optimzations go; .bashrc is just a symlink
