Need some clarification.

Then, you want to choose a directory where you will put all your ooc-related stuff. For this page, we will assume you are using $HOME/Dev.

Edit your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc file to add the line:
export OOC_LIBS="$HOME/Dev"

Which libs need to exist here?
If they aren't stdlibs, then it looks to actually be my projects in which case:

1. they may not be libs
2. they should not have to reside on my $PATH

So what is it I am really setting here with $OOC_LIBS?
