install zef as user

[bazzaar]

System is Opensuse Leap 15.4, on x86_64

The command that's detailed in the rakudo_pkg readme, to install zef as user -

  /opt/rakudo-pkg/bin/install-zef

... didn't work for me. One of the tests failed with the message complaining about sic. not finding a dependency(s).

I seem to remember npm might have been mentioned too?

I tried a couple of times, no luck, (deleting the .zef dir after each failed attempt)

and then tried using the different instructions on the ugexe/zef github page -

   git clone https://github.com/ugexe/zef.git
   cd zef  
   raku -I. bin/zef install .

which successfully installed zef without error. (Subsequently I've been able to install all the modules I need.)

Also, since then I found that npm / nodejs were not installed on my (new build) system, and have now added them.

I looked for a page or section that detailed rakudo / zef system dependencies, but did not find anything.
