<h2 class="chapter" id="Bootstrapping-1">13 Bootstrapping</h2>
<p>Suppose you have a stow directory all set up and ready to go:
<samp class="file">/usr/local/stow/perl</samp> contains the Perl installation,
<samp class="file">/usr/local/stow/stow</samp> contains Stow itself, and perhaps you have
other packages waiting to be stowed. You’d like to be able to do this:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">cd /usr/local/stow
stow -vv *
</pre></div>
<p>but <code class="command">stow</code> is not yet in your <code class="env">PATH</code>. Nor can you do this:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">cd /usr/local/stow
stow/bin/stow -vv *
</pre></div>
<p>because the ‘<samp class="samp">#!</samp>’ line at the beginning of <code class="command">stow</code> tries to
locate Perl (usually in <samp class="file">/usr/local/bin/perl</samp>), and that won’t be
found. The solution you must use is:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">cd /usr/local/stow
perl/bin/perl stow/bin/stow -vv *
</pre></div>
</div>
</body>
