Ulf Zibis created NETBEANS-2806: ----------------------------------- Summary: Consider using `/opt/` path by default for installer Key: NETBEANS-2806 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-2806 Project: NetBeans Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 11.1 Reporter: Ulf Zibis Fix For: 11.1
The recent installer uses `/usr/local/` by default, when installing under root. In my understanding, this path is reserved for software which overrides existing versions from the official distribution. Wouldn't it not be better to use the `/opt/` path by default. Then the user could override it with e.g. nightly versions by help of the `/usr/local/` mechanics.
