Say I'm a non-admin user who wants to put an executable somewhere in his path so that he can run it like a regular program.
What is the "proper" accepted location for that path? is it ~/bin? ~/.local/bin? Elsewhere?

I always use `~/bin`, but I don't think there's any kind of standard ... any user is pretty much free to structure his/her home directory however he/she likes. – dirkt May 29 '18 at 04:32

Note that while this is a duplicate of that *question*, [the second answer](https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/264495/73093) is **significantly better** than the accepted answer to it. – Michael Homer May 29 '18 at 05:34

Ahh yup it seems like an exact duplicate. Thanks @MichaelHomer! – user541686 May 29 '18 at 05:40
