Does not install to /usr/bin/gist under Ubuntu 18.04

[edo9k]

I installed via apt, and it could not find the gist command in the terminal.
Then I installed via gem, it could not find the command either.

It only worked after I soft linked it to /usr/bin/ with

ln -s /var/lib/gems/2.5.0/gems/gist-5.0.0/bin/gist /usr/bin/gist

Is the problem with this project, with gem or with apt? Or am I doing something wrong? 😥

It installed fine for me to /usr/local/bin/gist on Ubuntu 18.04 when following the README instructions (not using apt). I think this issue is resolved and can be closed.

@viveksinghggits , I didn't realize this before but the upstream package renames the binary to gist-paste to avoid the conflict with the yorick package.

I suggested a change to the README.md to document this for those that want to use apt and not gem etc... See #325

aah, I see. Thats why I was see below in the output of dpkg

» dpkg -L gist                                        vivek@workmachine
