Hey all, this is a relatively newbish question. I'm comfortable with downloading and installing the source code to a program that I want to use, compile it, and use "make install" to install. That is the easy part.
Here's the hard part for me. What are the best practices for doing so? -Is there a specific subfolder I should be installing compiled programs to? IE /opt instead of /usr/bin ? -Is there a way to specify the subfolder? -Is there an easy way to uninstall said programs when I am ready to do so? -What is the best way to keep said programs up to date when a new version is available? For the record, I am using Debian Stretch. Would it be better to take a program I want and make a .deb so that I can use dpkg or apt? Cheers.
