Shared dev host, no sudo, never will have sudo. Our team wiki says to pass --bin-dir /usr/local/bin so everyone has the command in the same place, and the install gets all the way to writing it and then:
/usr/local/bin is not writable.
Pass --bin-dir <writable path>.The hint is clear enough, I just want to know whether that leaves anything half-installed behind.
Accepted answer
Nothing is half-installed — the command shim is the last step, so everything before it is already in place and re-running with a directory you own just finishes the job.
curl -fsSL https://sdods.com/install.sh | sh -s -- --bin-dir ~/.local/bin --modify-pathThe wiki line is written for machines where people have sudo. On this one you do not, so name a directory you own instead, and let --modify-path save you the second round of "command not found". Nothing else about the install differs — the shim is a two-line file that execs the real command.
Wrap commands and output in triple backticks and they will render as a code block.
