Update installation instructions wrt install dir? #2500

Open jbclements opened 3 hours ago

jbclements commented 3 hours ago

The installation directions suggest that the agda library information directory lives at $HOME/.agda/libraries. However, the documentation at https://agda.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tools/package-system.html suggests that this is out of date (though still supported), and suggests identifying the location using agda --print-agda-app-dir ... which indeed, on my macOS system, returns $HOME/.config/agda rather than $HOME/.agda. So perhaps the installation directions here are out of date? Or perhaps there should just be a link to the readthedocs.io site?

Apologies if I'm wading into a religious debate that I'm not aware of :).

While I'm looking at this page, it looks like the command-line comment 

wget -O agda-stdlib.tar https://github.com/agda/agda-stdlib/archive/v2.1.1.tar.gz

... should instead be

wget -O agda-stdlib.tar.gz https://github.com/agda/agda-stdlib/archive/v2.1.1.tar.gz

, and the later command 

tar -zxvf agda-stdlib.tar

should instead be

tar -zxvf agda-stdlib.tar.gz

Granted, the current pair of commands works, but it's giving a .tar suffix to something that is definitely not just a tar file, but instead a gzipped tar file.

... and naturally, if you prefer tgz well then that sounds perfect as well!
