Due to a screwup on my part, I had to reinstall my Pi's OS (was quicker than looking up the potential solution), and since I don't need multiple separate versions of D, I want to do away with the activate/deactivate scripts, especially as this method isn't liked by certain applications. I once solved this, but I forgot it since it's a very unintuitive process.

What I did in my linux VM is in .bashrc script, was to add ``~/.local/bin/ldc*/bin`` to the PATH variable, and simply extract ldc out into ``~/.local/bin`` manually.

Whereas for a Gitlab CI I used the install script with:

```sh
source $(realpath -m $(curl -fsS https://dlang.org/install.sh | bash -s get-path dmd --install)/../../../activate)
```

Does either of this help you?
