sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/syzygy/
sudo cp -r ./data /usr/lib/syzygy/

Works :)

make install appears to be missing?

Hi, sorry for the trouble. Instructions for running locally (recently updated) are here: https://github.com/mdsteele/syzygy#building-and-running-locally

There's no make install script, but current instructions for installing on Ubuntu are here: https://github.com/mdsteele/syzygy#debian-linux

Maybe you'd like to change

https://github.com/mdsteele/syzygy/blob/569475d88add3c59a4790354b88e23a82218d19f/.travis.yml#L13-L20

once the AppImage build on Travis CI is known good working. It is working as-is for me now, so the changes would be merely to reduce the number of manual steps in that file.

Thanks.
