  • I personally use bob, ($ cargo install bob-nvim), and it's been great for ease of version management, including nightly

  • AppImageLauncher

    Helper application for Linux distributions serving as a kind of "entry point" for running and integrating AppImages

  • Every file that you want to execute has to be in your environment PATH. I would also advise to put symlinks and personal executables in ~/.local/bin and put that to your path. Since your user has ownership over that directory, you won't have any probs with permissions that may or may not occur at all. Since we're talking about AppImage files, you might also want to take a look at AppImageLauncher which does a pretty good job at creating entries for your Desktop Menu for the AppImage files that you install to your system.

  • asdf

    Extendable version manager with support for Ruby, Node.js, Elixir, Erlang & more

  • git clone https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf.git ~/.asdf --branch v0.12.0 echo '. "$HOME/.asdf/asdf.sh"' >> ~/.bashrc echo '. "$HOME/.asdf/completions/asdf.bash"' >> ~/.bashrc source ~/.bashrc
