Erroneous space in steam path in wiki installation instructions #2162

Closed fleetingffox closed 6 months ago

fleetingffox commented 8 months ago

The Linux section for the installation instructions on the wiki appears to have an erroneous space in the path name in the mkdir command line, resulting in two directories being created (since the second directory requires root permission, it will simply not be created and an error will be issued):

mkdir -p ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/359320/pfx/drive_c/users /steamuser/Saved\ Games/Frontier\ Developments/Elite\ Dangerous
                                                                     ^

If I understand the reasoning behind this mkdir command correctly, may I also make a suggestion to add a line such as, for example:

This will ensure the directory exists, as it will create the directory if it doesn't yet exist, and does nothing if the directory already exists.

So that use of the`mkdir` here is better understood.
