From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Just install it via
pipand then symlink its binary file to/usr/bin.t. Am running a live stream 24/7 on my orange pi zero 3 (via ffplay/yt-dlp) since forever.
"Why not simply add
$HOME/.local/binto$PATH?"Because it breaks things. While symlinking it does not.
"Why?"
No idea, honestly.
Also, you can take a step further and make a tmpfs partition @
$HOME/.localand then add the following line to your .bash_profile file:TMPDIR=$HOME/.local pip install --break-system-packages -I --no-input yt-dlp &&.use
pipx installor your distro's package instead ofpip install --break-system-packagesApparently pipx dislikes tmpfs partitions, so nah.
why would you want to nuke your installed cli apps on every boot with a tmpfs
Eh, it's a tradeoff that I get in exchange of a longer microsd lifespan. Which I'm completely fine with.
