Install tools globally

aqua finds the configuration files from the current directory to the root directory.

$ pwd
/tmp
$ gh version
FATA[0000] aqua failed aqua_version=1.19.2 error="command is not found" exe_name=gh program=aqua

If you want to install tools regardless the current directory, let's add the global configuration. Create a global configuration file and add the path to the environment variable AQUA_GLOBAL_CONFIG. You can change the global configuration file path freely.

$ mkdir -p "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/aquaproj-aqua"
$ vi "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/aquaproj-aqua/aqua.yaml"
$ export AQUA_GLOBAL_CONFIG=${AQUA_GLOBAL_CONFIG:-}:${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/aquaproj-aqua/aqua.yaml
