Improves wording of environmental variables section in two ways:
~/.asdf
as an absolute pathBeginners may take this too literally and do something like
export ASDF_DATA_DIR=~/.asdf
, which won't work since tilda expansion doesn't occur here (since the~/
isn't the first two characters in the word, theAS
inASDF_DATA_DIR
is).To prevent misconceptions or potential issues, this has been removed.
ASDF_DIR
This variable no longer defaults to
~/.asdf
, but instead is dynamically set and always refers to the true location of the source files.
