wiki page: Installing par2cmdline-turbo confusion?

[OneCD]

Hey guys,

The second section of this wiki page (named "Installation of pre-built binaries") says the example is for /usr/local/bin/

Example of unpacking and putting into /usr/local/bin/ on Linux x86_64:

... but this path isn't used in the example. Instead, the example shows /usr/bin/

Code: Select all

xz -dv par2cmdline-turbo-v1.1.0-linux-amd64.xz
chmod +x par2cmdline-turbo-v1.1.0-linux-amd64
which par2 # note the location, and use that:
sudo mv /usr/bin/par2 /usr/bin/par2.old
sudo cp par2cmdline-turbo-v1.1.0-linux-amd64 /usr/bin/par2
par2 --version # check it says "par2cmdline-turbo"

Both paths are valid. In-fact, on my Debian 12.2, I have:

Code: Select all

onecd@talia:~$ type -a par2
par2 is /usr/local/bin/par2
par2 is /usr/bin/par2
par2 is /bin/par2

... but SABnzbd runs as 'onecd' , so I updated /usr/local/bin/par2 as per the rest of the example, and it works fine.

Can we please update the example path to match the path shown above the example?

Cheers!

Typo!

You can send a PR ... ?

I can, but I’m not sure which path should be shown as the correct one. Should we update the path in the example or above it?
