The last recommendation partially solved my problem. However it introduces the new problem of the option being the default completion after hitting the tab key. Will completions work without the binary being in someones path? If so I can link to the repository in the next message so that it's not all theoretic. I will work with this approach and when I get stuck again I will get back to you.
