I have installed zig through a pre-built download, and had the exe. it worked fine. I'm currently attempting to install this exe to /bin but have been unsuccessful because when using zig from there by just running "zig run path" i get the error
error: unable to find zig installation directory: FileNotFound
This is probably becuase i just moved the file to bin instead of specifically installing it to bin, like in some C projects i've installed to bin by just "sudo make install" and it works, but with zig i cannot find a way to do that. i have tried googling for a bit now.
#How do I properly install zig to bin/?

to clarify, when i say "bin/" i mean the system "/bin/" folder

I usually put mine in ~/.local/share and then symlink in ~/.local/bin
Then make sure that ~/.local/bin is in the PATH

(i'll msg when i get that done)
should .local/bin really be on path? for some reason my system seems to store my python imports there, and having all those on path doesn't seem ideal
oh... these python thingies are already on PATH
alright thanks! it's all working now (i symlinked the folder instead of the file, i actually didn't know you could simlink files)
