Screenshoot

related code:

Line 134 in 46fd911

err = os.Symlink(dest, pos)

I know users can crate this link by self (like sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/velad. /usr/local/bin/vela), but it would be nice if velad install can do this job.

I'm testing velad with a root server so I didn't notice that will fail. But if user is running velad install with an unprivileged user, velad can't make symlink to /usr/local/bin. A solution is to find a directory in $PATH in which user have privilege to create symlink.
