bin location
The default bin directory is presumed to be ${HOME}/bin. If this does not exist, it will be created.
Depending on your profile, this is either already in the ${PATH} or needs to be added. This can be done easily by adding it to you .profile:
echo 'export PATH=${PATH}:${HOME}/bin' >> ~/.profile
After this is done, log back in to re-initialize the shell, or source the profile.
Alternate Install Method
Mac Homebrew (e.g. brew) is updated with elv via a tap. If you are running brew, this is another way to get elv:
brew tap eluv-io/eluv-io
brew install elv
