Look into the install command.
Often folks will include a makefile with an install target that places the various needed files in the correct locations.

Correct me if I misunderstood, I will include Makefile
, and when run make install
it will execute install
command?
Correct.
make install
command will invoke install once for each file you need put in place.
Make is just a tool that I like to use, you could even just add an install.sh script that sets up all the needed files.
Thanks
sorry to bother
but I was thinking, should I consider ./install.sh
executed with root and non-root perm
If so, essential files should placed in /usr/local/share
?
Not sure I have enough context to really tell you what to do here. It's semi normal for folks to have scripts in /home//bin
Just put it in a tar.gz and require the files to be relative to the script, not $HOME.
