 There are two things to know about when using the above format:
-1. The above would install Bombadillo to `/some/directory/usr/local/bin`, _not_ to `/some/directory`. So you will want to make sure your `$PATH` is set accordingly.
-2. Using the above will install the man page to `/some/directory/usr/local/share/man`, rather than its usual location. You will want to update your `manpath` accordingly.

-The `PREFIX` option can be used to install Bombadillo to any location different to `/usr/local`.
 
 Uninstall will clean up any build files, remove the installed binary, and remove the man page from the system. If will _not_ remove any directories created as a part of the installation, nor will it remove any Bombadillo user configuration files.
