Clarification on installation docs

[pmkap]

From the installations docs:

Alternatively if you don't trust this approach, you can download the latest release binary. On first run it will install itself.

rye-x86_64-linux.gz for 64bit Intel computers
rye-aarch64-linux.gz for 64bit ARM computers

What does "install itself on first run" mean?

Copy the binary into my path, modify .profile or .bashrc, download python stuff, etc?

Thanks a lot for the clarification.

Install on first run means that it will start the installer if it's not already installed into where it expects to be (in $RYE_HOME or ~/.rye). The installer is the command rye self install. It sounds like it to me that you don't need to copy it anywhere, just run it where it was downloaded.

To avoid this, run it will RYE_NO_AUTO_INSTALL=1 set which is documented here https://rye-up.com/guide/installation/#updating-rye
