Hi Tim,

Is this OK? (It's from the README). Somehow something looks wrong (I didn't install vast-tools there), but of course you're the master...

Of course you should add the vast-tools directory to your PATH:

$ export PATH=~/bin/vast-tools:$PATH $ echo 'export PATH=~/bin/vast-tools:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc

I see your point here about a different installation directory, So either we delete most of the installation help and assume that this stuff is already very basic and applies to installation of any piece of linux/unix software, or I just added cd ~/bin before the git clone, that way if the user really has no idea whats going on here, everything should work out of the box.

What about just saying "(e.g. ~/bin/vast-tools)" instead of your new "(probably ~/bin/vast-tools)"? I think that'd be enough...

I see that is a small thing, but before I'm sure many people would just copy those command lines without even thinking...

Your right, that is a likely scenario.
