New installer options (v2)
This is a rewrite of #590 to reduce the diff and make it a more reasonable pr.
Add support for options in install script
This adds support for serveral new command line options (taken from the usage):
- -b, --bin-dir Override the bin installation directory
- -m, --man-dir Override the man installation directory
- -a, --arch Override the architecture identified by the installer
- -h, --help Display this help message
This also (coincidentally) allows for $BIN_DIR, $MAN_DIR, and $ARCH to be set to create default settings for these.
These variables are always overwritten by the command line arguments.
@ajeetdsouza I hope I've accomplished what you expected when we first discussed this (almost a year ago) here. If anything is missing, or you have any changes you'd like made, please let me know :smile:
I used the official install script for the first time today, because of the outdated Debian 11 package. Right away I was surprised by the hard-coded $HOME/.local/{bin,man} directories. While this was easy enough to fix manually, I would appreciate being able to pass the desired directories (or in my case a directory prefix /usr/local) as either a installer script argument or environment variable. I checked the list of Zoxide pull requests and found this one, so I'd like to vote in favour.
Thank you for the new configuration options. They make automation easier for me, and I have already updated my jobs accordingly.
