From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why would you do this to yourself?
Very nice, though.
nitpick: At least on the distros I've tried .local/bin doesn't exist by default, so the install script can't copy it in there. You could mkdir it first. It's also not in the $PATH, so the user won't be able to run it anyway, but I don't know of a simple, clean way to get around that.
I went on and added an if statement and a message to install.sh, just for the issue you mentioned...
