Feature: choose where to install #233

Hello

In some specific case like an asset with a single executable, I wish I could straight away send it to /usr/local/bin, like dra download -a -i --install-dir /usr/local/bin whatever/test.

Could even add an option to remove any suffix looking like -

This little thing would be the missing bit to have one line command to install the many golang / rust & co tooling available on github :-)

Hi @rgarrigue!

You can already do this using the -o/--output option:

dra download -a -i  -o /usr/local/bin whatever/test

This will install whatever you download to /usr/local/bin.

Could even add an option to remove any suffix looking like -

If you want to change the executable name, you can use -o again:

dra download -a -i  -o /usr/local/bin/mytestcli whatever/test
