The packaging tutorial ends with:

Basic DOs and Dont's for packaging for Commercial Applications

DOs

Please use /opt/<application_name>/ as your application root directory


I have no idea if it is in $PATH but this is a stock install and I need this to just work on a stock install.

    With a little help from Paul Sladen I got it sorted thanks. My only
    issue now is that the installed package only runs if you call it
    using the full path /opt/cliftontestsuite/primetest. Just typing
    primetest an any random location does not work. Is this by design or
    have I screwed up?


Obvious perhaps but do you have /opt in your $PATH?

A packaged binary should really be installed in /usr/bin or
/usr/local/bin to avoid that issue.
