Would it be okay to add the relative path to the current directory to the PATH variable if I don't know the exact path? Or would that not be a good idea?</div>

<br>
No. Just add the bin directory to your PATH.<br>
<br>
apt-get is only required when installing packages provided by the <br>
package manager. It has nothing to do with installing archives you <br>
download.<br>
