Yeah, I think "our recommendations" was a poor choice of words. In reality, I meant "you can put it anywhere but, for the sake of example, we're putting it here."

I think it's really a matter of personal preference. For example, on macOS you could install it to:

  • /usr/local/bin: this is probably the most natural location, but I know some people prefer to leave this to package managers like Homebrew (which I intend to add Vale to).
  • ~/bin: this doesnโ€™t require elevated privileges, but is only available for one user.
  • $GOPATH/bin: this is what most Go programmers/contributors would do, I assume.
  • some/path/vale/bin where some/path/vale/ would also contain your styles.

Overall, I thought keeping the Vale binary and its styles in a single location would be good for people who don't have any other preference. But I probably should expand on this more.

An update on this:

  • Releases are now signed.
  • I've edited the wiki and added a tutorial for macOS that uses ~/bin (Windows and Linux are on the way).
  • I've added Vale to Homebrew.
  • For the next release, I plan on including a .msi file that defaults to C:\Program Files (x86)\Vale

Simplicity vs preference can be tricky - agreed.

I don't think you can assume your users are go programmers, and I definitely think either /usr/local/bin or ~/bin/ would be better defaults than ~/.

I'm closing this as Vale can now be install through Homebrew (/usr/local/bin), a Windows Installer package (C:\Program Files (x86)\Vale), or manually.

I'm also going to be moving away from the wiki in favor of https://github.com/ValeLint/docs, which is hosted at https://valelint.github.io/.
