Hi

I've downloaded BST and it works fine from the downloads directory but I suppose it should go somewhere else. Anyone know where it should be installed on Ubuntu?

TIA

Nick

    For simplicity I just use /home/user/bst/

    I put bst, bstc and bstl in /usr/local/bin because I always have /usr/local/bin in my std $PATH on any machine. I believe /usr/local/bin is also in the standard path on Ubuntu, at least it's on Debian and other distros.

    I don't think /opt is in the standard (unmodified) $PATH.. maybe on some distros, but definitely not all. In any case what goes in /opt tends to be /opt/this and /opt/that, so you would need to add /opt/this/bin and /opt/that/bin to $PATH. /usr/local is the traditional *nix 'locally installed' directory, with only a single bin/, whereas (the newer arrival) /opt is more for 3party non-local applications. So that then we have:
    1) Applications provided by the distro: /bin /usr/bin /sbin /usr/sbin
    2) Applications provided by 3parties (e.g. Intel compiler by Intel: /opt/intel/*, as per their install script)
    3) Applications provided locally: My self-compiled editor: /usr/local/bin/uemacs
    so that's why I put bst&co there.
