7. Bootstrapping

Suppose you have a stow directory all set up and ready to go: ‘/usr/local/stow/perl’ contains the Perl installation, ‘/usr/local/stow/stow’ contains Stow itself, and perhaps you have other packages waiting to be stowed. You’d like to be able to do this:

 
cd /usr/local/stow
stow -vv *

but stow is not yet in your PATH. Nor can you do this:

 
cd /usr/local/stow
stow/bin/stow -vv *

because the ‘#!’ line at the beginning of stow tries to locate Perl (usually in ‘/usr/local/bin/perl’), and that won’t be found. The solution you must use is:

 
cd /usr/local/stow
perl/bin/perl stow/bin/stow -vv *
