Already existing symlink

Hi when trying to install steam acolyth i noticed that it didn't create a symlink because it already found a file. I don't think that I have ever installed this program.

roy@roy-pc:~$ pip install --user steam-acolyte

⚠️  File exists at /home/roy/.local/bin/steam-acolyte and points to /home/roy/.local/bin/steam-acolyte. Not modifying.
  installed package steam-acolyte 0.7.9, Python 3.8.10
    - steam-acolyte (symlink not installed)
done! ✨ 🌟 ✨

It was off-course easily fixed by running: pipx uninstall steam-acolyte && ~/.local/bin/steam-acolyte && pipx install steam-acolyte

Hey,

from your command log, I assume you understood the readme such that you should execute the following sequence of commands:

pip install --user steam-acolyte
pip install --user pipx
pipx install steam-acolyte

If so, I maybe should make it a bit clearer in the README that users should execute either:

pip install --user steam-acolyte

or:

pip install --user pipx
pipx install steam-acolyte

Ah ok. Overlooked that. Thanks for the response.
