Cannot install elvis #586

Closed PhysicistProgs closed 2 months ago

PhysicistProgs commented 2 months ago

I read instruction and expected that after git clone and rebar3 compile elvis is added to bin and can be used with elvis rock in any place in system. Am I wrong?

After git clone -> cd elvis -> rebar3 compile elvis is not available to use in system. It can be used only if I call rebar3 escriptize and add generated escript to PATH manually.

System: Ubuntu 22.04.

Yeah, the README is probably misleading. To use the application, you have to git clone it, rebar escriptize it, and put the generated binary in your system PATH. (this is also mentioned, but below section "Installation")

I'm gonna pull request to tweak the README so stuff's made clearer. For the time being I'm closing this issue as you've found the solution yourself and I just confirmed it 😄
