Installing packages w/o sudo

You can install into two different user bin locations

• /usr/bin
• ~/bin

ensure /usr/bin is exported into PATH

   cd /usr/bin
   wget <url to binary>
   tar -zxvf download-pkg
   mv dowloaded-pkg/app app
   # or
   ln -s nvim.appimage nvim

Packages to install

• ripgrep
• tmux
• nvim
• fzf
• [fd-find]
• yank
• [bat]

To know which arch to download, run name -m • If output is x86_64, linux_amd64 is correct. • If aarch64 or similar, use linux_arm64.
