How to install software
There are 3 ways of installing software on a computer:
- Package manager lik homebrew, apt, pacman, npm, etc.
- Manually downloading a binary.
- Compiling source code.
This is very important for understanding where those packages exist in your system after the installation.
After installing a program, make sure to:
- Adjust any required global variables.
- Setup configs if needed.
- Repeat that for every dependency.
Wtf is this post?
This is just my dump of thoughts on how to install software. I have been working on my setup for a while. I keep installing things after things, configuring them, and it quickly became messy.
With these notes, I hope next time I will do better.
