How to use edgedb cli after downloading it?

[tailhook]

1. Fixing script error: you should make sure that mktemp -d returns a valid writable directory with enough space on the filesystem to download the file. You can customize that via setting $TMPDIR:

   mkdir -p ~/.tmp
   export TMPDIR=~/.tmp
   curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.edgedb.com | sh

2. If you manually downloaded the binary you can put it into your home dir, making it executable, and ensure that it's in PATH:

   mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
   mv edgedb-cli-2.2-whatever-version-youve-donwloaded ~/.local/bin/edgedb
   chmod +x ~/.local/bin/edgedb

   With typical modern configs you now can exit the shell and start a new one, and edgedb command will be working. If it's not you can do:

   echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.profile
   

   And restart the shell again, edgedb command should work in this case.
