Where is the correct place to store user-local executable files?

echo $PATH gives

/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games

It doesn't include eg. $HOME/bin

Would $HOME/bin be advisable? Or $HOME/opt/bin ....

I guess I would have to add that to my .profile too?

I think if you add a $HOME/bin directory it should be added to the path automatically, looking in my .profile would indicate this

Yes just checked and by creating a $HOME/bin directory the next time you log in its automatically added to the path.

Hope that helps
