[documentation] Install command #608

Closed strarsis closed 8 years ago

strarsis commented 8 years ago

The command for installing ack in ack documentation assumes that the directory ~/bin already exists. But this is not always the case, hence the command will fail. The command could be changed a bit to ensure that this directory exists before proceeding:

mkdir -p ~/bin && curl http://beyondgrep.com/ack-2.14-single-file > ~/bin/ack && chmod 0755 !#:3

Are you referring to this page http://beyondgrep.com/install/ ?

strarsis commented 8 years ago

Yes, under section "Install the ack executable".

Oh duh, I didn't see the hyperlink you had.

I moved this over to the website's issue queue at https://github.com/petdance/beyondgrep/issues/52

Thanks for the report.
