Is there standard/recommended location for an executable to be used by only
a one user?
In my case it should be under /home/richard/ .
But where?
The XDG Base Directory Specification recommends ~/.local/bin for
"user-specific executable files".
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/index.html#variables
systemd also recommends that same directory for "executables that
shall appear in the user's $PATH search path".
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/file-hierarchy.html#Home%20Directory
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/file-hierarchy.html#~/.local/bin/
I would say that meets your requirements as stated.
All portions of those two documents are going be relevant to my project
[not just the referenced sections].
Thank you.
