| Mar 30, 2021 at 22:41 | comment | added | Jack | Agreed with your assessment. Also I haven't done anything significant with my pi, python, bash, etc... yet as I'm still deep in "do these exercises / learn these code snippets" mode. I think, i'm thinking anyway, I just may look at creating my own mining app to surf my storage and build an index / links / what have you to all existing documentation on my pi (pdf/html/txt). Anyway, just an idea. THAN YOU AGAIN! GREAT DETAILED HELP! I copied your post into a libre doc Im saving to my desktop. | |

| Mar 30, 2021 at 2:15 | comment | added | Steve Robillard | You were too quick I was adding the file-hierarchy info to my answer as you typed your comment. As to your question about documenting the install and next steps, that info is available you just need to know the command to find the info - and I understand that this can seem very cryptic at first especially if you have never used a terminal in Mac or Windows. But as I mentioned in my answer a single package can install files in multiple locations and may install dozens of commands. . | |

| Mar 30, 2021 at 1:57 | comment | added | Jack | Thanks Steve, big time. Fantastic answer, oddly while you were writing this, on a Debian Reference Card (web page), at the top it points to the usr/share/doc dir and I found it. I will follow your advice, all of the above. I do have to ask in the end though, why the Add/Remove software doesn't just, well, spell it out in the description? Aka, after loading the package go to xyz/abc/ and execute jack.py. It just seems bizarre to me after loading up pkgs I'd have to then go out and run searches, etc... THANKS SO MUCH! | |
