To install and have e4s-info and man e4s-info as runnable commands, please follow the instructions below.
To obtain the code from GitHub, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/Collegeville/e4s-info.git
To install the commands, run the e4s-info-install script.
The default location for the e4s-info command and cooresponding data files is /usr/local/bin.The default location for the man e4s-info manual page is /usr/local/share/man/man1/. These locations may require permissions to access, so it may be necessary to run the installation script with the sudo command.
If you wish to change the location of the e4s-info command and cooresponding data files, please use the --prefix=/foo/bar/ argument. If you wish to change the location fof the man e4s-info manual page, please use the --mandir=/foo/bar argument. Please note that the installation script will automatically add the /bin/ directory to the end of the --prefix= argument and the /man/man1/ directory to the end of your specified --mandir= argument. Thus, if you wish for the command to be located in the /home/foo/bin/ directory, you would pass --prefix=/home/foo/. Likewise, if you wish for the manual page to be located in the /usr/share/man/man1/ directory, you would pass --mandir=/usr/share/ as the argument. If you would like to see more information about the installation script, please use the -h or --help arguments.
sudo ./e4s-info-install.sh
