Sorry if this has been asked many times before, but I can't seem to formulate the right search terms!
Basically, I want to install a local tar file in such a way that it's immediately available on the command line, just as if I had used "sudo apt-get install XYZ" (assume there are no dependencies).
I know how to unpack the tar and then compile with configure/make, but that just leaves me with an executable that I have to add a path to later.
I suppose I could copy to /bin and be done with it, but I just wondering what the standard practice was here.
