[maker-devel] Installation in a custom directory

[Carson Holt]

If you move it, then the executables won’t be able to locate dependencies in the …/maker/data, …/maker/lib, and …/maker/perl directories. You should really either add the location of …/maker/bin to you PATH environmental variable or at most soft link the executables somewhere else using the ‘ln -s’ command.
