title: Installing a program through MAC Command Line, by putting binary in my PATH
body: <p>So i'm fooling around with the Terminal.</p>
  
  <p>Can someone explain to me how to install a program by putting it's <strong>Binary in my PATH</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>I am assuming I go $PATH/ --Binary--</p>
  
  <p>If the above is the case, </p>
  
  <p>1) Why does this install the program?</p>
  
  <p>2) Is there a standardized method to find a 'downloads' binary?</p>
  
  <p>I am sure there are better ways of installing programs. I am interested in this specific method though. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for your help. </p>
