Direct Archive (Fallback)

The direct archive is the launch fallback for any x86_64 Linux distribution.

VERSION=2.0.0
curl -LO "https://github.com/hedge-ops/people-work-releases/releases/download/v${VERSION}/people-work-${VERSION}-x86_64.tar.gz"
tar -xzf "people-work-${VERSION}-x86_64.tar.gz"
install -Dm755 people "$HOME/.local/bin/people"
people --version

Make sure $HOME/.local/bin is on your PATH.

With People Work installed and open, you should see a login screen and will be ready to set up your account.

With the package installed, you now have people on your PATH and can use this command-line interface like any other program. The subsequent sections will walk you through how.
