Where Binaries Should Stay
Where should mac binaries go#
Recently downloaded vault which is a simple binary. Unsure where to put it for it to be available on the echo $PATH
and not much help from the docs…
A search was initiated and found that local binaries should go in: /usr/local/bin
which is already part of the path.
One can do:
cp ~/Downloads/vault /usr/local/bin
and the binary became available.
Another option is using install
:
sudo install -m 0755 ~/Downloads/vault /usr/local/bin/
