Merge Linux and Mac Install Script + Fixes + Messages

[abeljim]

Fixes #63
Install script is now a single file for mac and Linux.
Handles XDG_DATA_HOME if available.
Prints out progress messages for the user.
Updated ReadMe.

This depends on the current working directory when the script is called.

Maybe better use a path relative to the script location, then one can call the script from any directory?

Suggested change

	cp ../fonts/otf/* ~/.local/share/fonts
	# Get script directory
	sd=$(cd -- "$(dirname "$0")" >/dev/null 2>&1 || exit; pwd)
	# copy all fonts from ./otf to ~/.local/share/fonts
	cp "${sd}/../fonts/otf/*" ~/.local/share/fonts

(Well, something to that effect)

I think this has still not been addressed.

You could call install.sh from any current working directory. But all the paths in the script are relative to the current working directory instead of relative to the script directory. That in effect means one needs to change into the concrete directory that the author of the script envisioned.

For example

cd ~/git/monaspace
util/install.sh

cd ~/git/monaspace/util
./install.sh

cd /tmp
~/git/monaspace/util/install.sh

They should imho all work.

For the script to assemble the source path of the font files it needs the absolute path of the script itself and from then on it could relative walk to the fonts directory. Thus the code above.

In principle it could use the XDG_DATA_HOME also, instead of assuming where share/fonts is, for people who have a different directory layout.

# Get target root directory
if [[ $(uname) == 'Darwin' ]]; then
  # MacOS
  sys_share_dir="/Library"
  usr_share_dir="$HOME/Library"
  font_subdir="Fonts"
else
  # Linux
  sys_share_dir="/usr/local/share"
  usr_share_dir="$HOME/.local/share"
  font_subdir="fonts"
fi
if [ -n "${XDG_DATA_HOME}" ]; then
  usr_share_dir="${XDG_DATA_HOME}"
fi

Better fix is #66

Updated script based on feedback. See first post for more info.

I'm seeing these PRs after writing my own modifications to this installation script too 😅

IMO Monaspace should have its own directory in fonts e.g.: ${XDG_DATA_HOME}/fonts/Monaspace/, as over 200 files are copied there by this script.

Hi there! This seems way nicer than our crappy install scripts, but I don't want to hold up releasing v1.101 for it. Going to figure this out for 1.2, alongside #89. Stay tuned!

This is never used.

[Finii]

I guess the code comes from my snippet.

That variable would be used if the script allows system-wide installation.
As it does not (yet) you are right it's unused/
