Install Pre-packaged Binaries

Note that the following instructions assume a fairly "normal" file system. You may need to adjust some of the paths here to match your system.

Open the latest release page on Github
Download the .tar.gz file that matches your system architecture
Extract the .tar.gz file

Before you run this, be sure to replace {version} & {system} to match the file you downloaded.
```
tar xvzf alt_{version}_{system}.tar.gz
cd alt_{version}_{system}
```
Install the alt binary
```
sudo cp bin/alt /usr/local/bin/alt
```

Install the PATH configuration scripts

sudo cp etc/profile.d/alt.sh /etc/profile.d/alt.sh
# (Optional) if you use fish
sudo cp etc/fish/conf.d/alt.fish /etc/fish/conf.d/alt.fish

(Optional) Install the completions

# If you use BASH
sudo cp completion/alt.bash /etc/bash_completion.d/alt.bash
# If you use ZSH
sudo cp completion/_alt /usr/share/zsh/site-functions/_alt
# If you use FISH
sudo cp completion/alt.fish /etc/fish/completions/alt.fish

(Optional) Install man pages

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/share/man/man1
sudo cp man/* /usr/local/share/man/man1/

You will probably need to log out & log back in to your desktop session so that the PATH configuration scripts you installed will load.
