No /usr/share/taskwarrior directory was created during the install

Taskwarrior 2.5.3 has just been installed from the tarball downloaded from the taskwarrior website and it does not start by default:

zoltan@adrian ~ $ task
Could not read include file '/usr/share/taskwarrior/dark-256.theme'.

The command zoltan@adrian /usr $ find ./ -iname "taskwarrior*" does not return anything.
I believe that the installation path might be different in ubuntu than on the system where taskwarrior has been tested. Unfortunately I am not savvy enough to find the installation location and point my .taskrc there.

I've uncommented the theme, and now task starts.

First of all I wanted to let you know, that something might be a bit off on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS, and I also hope that you could point me to the location where the themes (and probably other related stuff) could be.

Hi @horror-vacui,

running the installation from the tarball in an Ubuntu container, I get the following output from the make install:

# make install | grep theme

I suspect you'll find the theme files there :)

They were there. In hindsight I could have searched for the filename as well...
Thanks! :-)
