Install uv with uv

[ewjoachim]

Now that uv supports tools, is it a good id that uv manages its own installation ? If I do:

$ uv tool install uv

and then uninstall the uv I used to run this, am I likely to get into problems ?

Also, should that be what the install script does ? Is there a good reason that I need to add multiple paths to my PATH, and uv itself is not in ~/.local/bin and instead in ~/.cargo/bin ?

Hi! I think this is a duplicate of https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/6662 and #6400

Uhh.. I guess it'd work. I wouldn't recommend it.

Is there a good reason that I need to add multiple paths to my PATH

What other paths do you need? Isn't there just one?

and uv itself is not in ~/.local/bin and instead in ~/.cargo/bin ?

Yes, we want to move it but haven't for backwards compatibility. We will eventually.
