Omkar Reddy commented on CLIMATE-561:
-------------------------------------

Why dont we just ask the user to enter the path for installation just like in install-ubuntu.sh and install in the location specified by the user instead of splitting the install scripts?

> Right now there are a number of flat files contained within ./easy-ocw/ which are utilized (very cunningly) to make the easy install process smooth.
> An improvement to the install scripts themselves would be to NOT assume these files are relative to where the script was invoked.
> We should be able to find these files based on a $OCW_HOME or something. Right now (as we are already setting virtualenv etc) I am not entirely sure how we do this cleanly.
> Lets talk about it.
