Btw, rakudobrew, rakudo via git and star are *not* installing to
/usr/local/bin/.
rakudo via git and star install to ./install. But support the --prefix
option to override this as shown.

Follow-up questions to those I posed on perl6-users today.
So I have successfully used rakudobrew to build moar and panda. That perl6
executable is located here:
$ which perl6
/home/jkeenan/.rakudobrew/bin/perl6
Now, suppose I *also* wish to install Rakudo Star. I've downloaded the
rakudo-star-2016.01 tarball and have read the instructions in README for
installation. From past experience, I guess that if I say simply:
$ perl Configure.pl --backend=moar --gen-moar
$ make
$ make install
... that this will install in /usr/local/bin/. Is that recommended
(assuming that my main emphasis is on learning Perl6 in the context of a
beginners study group)?
Is there a PREFIX setting, should I wish to install it under my home
directory?
Thanks to all who worked on getting Rakudo Star yesterday and who
contributed to the earlier thread.
