Download, compile and install commonly used software to a custom path.

• Star the repo before clone
• File issue if it does not work
• Unstar if you feel it is unmaintained

# configure setup path, you can put them into your `.bashrc` or `.zshrc`
export ZZROOT=$HOME/app
export PATH=$ZZROOT/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ZZROOT/lib:$ZZROOT/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

# e.g. install git
sh zzgit.sh

jlinstall is another way to install softwares. It uses pre-built binaries so that no compilation is needed. The default install path of jlinstall is JLROOT=$ZZROOT/jl.

export ZZROOT=$HOME/app
export JLROOT=$ZZROOT/jl
export PATH=$ZZROOT/bin:$JLROOT/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ZZROOT/lib:$ZZROOT/lib64:$JLROOT/lib:$JLROOT/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

NOTE: If the download speed of the machine is too slow, you can put the git.tar.gz (using git as an example) into $ZZROOT/downloads before running the script. For the download link, check the DOWNLOADURL variable in its script; for the exact name of the software, check the NAME variable.

NOTE2: If you compile from source, please make sure that they are compiled using the same gcc version!
