John, These were previous mentionsof $HOME/.local. My emeory of things is getting a bit flawed these days.
I don't think it was a rtecommendation as such. The original wiki before I modified it had $HOME/.local as the single user location http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GNC-dev-About-the-HOME-local-installation-prefix-tp4710196p4710237.html http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GNC-Building-v3-Wiki-entry-for-Ubuntu-tt4701508.html#a4701569 http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GNC-dev-About-the-HOME-local-installation-prefix-tp4710196p4710262.html The thread above seems to also conclude a $HOME/apps location or similar as a better alternative. i obviously didn't follow up and modify the wiki at the time. Will put it on the to do list this time. http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GNC-Uninstall-GC-tp4708376p4708497.html I couldn't find any earlier references. I will change the wiki to recommend using a directory under $HOME aka /home/<user>. I will suggest using $HOME/apps but point out it can be any directory name the user chooses and can be a hidden directory if the user so wishes. I will also add some suggestions for alternative ways to include the executable in the PATH environment as well as a suggestion to include a launcher in the OS's menu system as per the distro's methods.
