Add documentation on the envvar PREFIX #296

Closed skliew closed 9 years ago

skliew commented 9 years ago

Add documentation on how to install chruby with a modified PREFIX. This should be useful for users without sudo privileges.

postmodern commented 9 years ago

It's fairly common knowledge that /usr/local is the default location that software is installed to. Not sure what the defacto method for installing into $HOME is.

skliew commented 9 years ago

I wasn't very clear with the earlier description. I am just thinking it might be useful to inform users about the availability of the PREFIX option.

Of course it would also be nice if we could install chruby in a standard way for users without sudo privileges.

I would focus on adding separate instructions for a $HOME based install, which covers PREFIX and updating $PATH.

Nice! I'll close this PR then.
