README.md: add installing without sudo #67

Closed ickc closed 5 years ago

Thanks for your pull request and sorry for not accepting it. The path ~/.local/bin seems very unusual, in fact i do not know of any system using this. I know, that some Linux distributions include ~/bin in the path, though ...

Yes, there's no "canonical" path as to where one should put their executable in without sudo. However, "Canonical's" Ubuntu has been using this standard for ages (i.e. without any user modification, ~/.local/bin is already in the PATH.)

So by using the standard most novice already have, there's lesser chance someone would encounter a problem and open an issue. Then for those intermediate users, the notes about the PATH would have been enough for them to understand what to do. For advance users, there's no need on any such notes whatsoever. So I guess the way this is put is the safest way to help all with different levels of experience.
