what?

>>106977019
link the folder?

>>106977019
saar you must not play df, you must scame google gift card saaaar

>>106977019
no idea, hard/soft links and $PATH all run the file at the location you are at (otherwise ls would only work in /usr/bin)

if you're just trying to create a shortcut to run an executable in another place you could do a bash script

 #!/bin/bash
cd /whatever/path/to/your/
./thing 

>>106977019
read LFH
find out where user files go
copy dwarf fortress folder there
make symbolic link of launcher
copy symlink into /usr/bin/ folder
run df from terminal

>>106977019
if you have a normal distro (which adds user bin to $PATH, make a /home/user/bin
then use ln to make a symbolic link:
ln -s ~/some/place/with/df/run_df ~/bin/df

log out and log in

2:
look in ~/.profile to find something like this or add it if you dont have any lines which add ~/bin to path.

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
    PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
fi

>>106977019
obviously $

needs to be defined

>>106977019
sorry maybe confusing.

'echo $HOME' to see if it correctly gives you your homedir

if it does, then you can use >>106978368
without modification.
if not, just replace $HOME with the actual home dir.
make sure "bin" exists in home dir and then do "ln" with your dirs
>>106978336
then log out and in
you can probably just "source ~/.profile" insead of logging out

>>106977330
this works thank you anon and thanks all of you guys two

>>106978368
obviously, i was thinking on a larger scale, to make a folder with a lot of data accessible accross the whole system (for other users), not just a single user setup.

otherwise, yeah, your way works ez.
plus you can add a . in the file name to make it hidden.

but if you want a program with a lot of loose files like OP mentioned, putting the folder in the /usr/bin folder would be better (for a system wide install)
