Looking at my notes on platformio I believe it got there via
pip install --user platformio
In my notes it also says to add .local/bin to the pa

Yes, I noticed that too. Looking at the history it looks like Frank already
made this change in May
last year.
I also googled around a bit more on this subject. And it looks like there are
different
interpretations of how $HOME/.local should be used.

Inspecting my Ubuntu 19.10 system I see that a number of applications
have installed themselves to ~/.local/bin. Platformio for example.
Also that folder is in the PATH, but whether it is there on a clean
install I don't know.

I or someone else must have changed the wiki after the previous discussion.
It now has $HOME/opt as a recommended location and points out that it can be
any directory the user chooses.

John,
These were previous mentionsof $HOME/.local. My emeory of things is getting
a bit flawed these days.
I don't think it was a rtecommendation as such. The original wiki before I
modified it had $HOME/.local as the single user location

I had a short discussion about where to install for local use with John when
I started updating the wiki a couple of years ago. At that time the user
gnucash data files weren't in $HOME/.local/share/gnucash so there was no
possible conflict at that time.

Hi Frank,
I agree with the general point of using a directory under $HOME as the
installation point. What it is called is really up to the users preference.
$HOME/.local/bin seems to be included in PATH by default on Linux Mint. Not
sure if that is necessarily the case for other Linux distributio
I can't, perhaps David remembers ?

Can you point me at that recommendation? I don't remember it and all Google is
finding for me is

I just now read your original reply on the user list.
So the recommendation comes from John. We'll have to wait for his answer to
see where he got it from then.
In addition you suggest there the installation process adds $HOME/.local/bin
to the PATH. I don't think it does. There is nothing in t
David,
I'm interested where you got the recommendation to install into $HOME/.local
from ? Perhaps this is a practice used by some distros in specific ?

Hi David,
some historical background:
In Gnucash 2.x we followed the FHS

The wiki Building on Linux currently recommends doing a single user local
installation to $HOME/.local.
