A common grievance for newbies in linux is when you download a tool from github and the darn thing won't install, but the app runs.

I am here to make your life easier.

go to home

cd 

then make a folder named tools

mkdir tools

put the folder from github in there

We then use the alias command to create a command for the user without need of editing the bashrc file. This makes it easier for newbies to not break things. I was once a newbie and broke things too.

alias toolName="pathToTool/toolFile"

The quotes for the string in the terminal command can be single or double quotes as long as they are the same on both sides.

Now you did what the script was supposed to.

You can now use the tool with just:

toolName

For those new to linux, yes, installing in linux is that much easier than windows installations most of the time.

You don't need root to do this so it's more secure than windows by a lot too.
