The 18 `otto` binary inside is all that is necessary to run Otto (or 19 `otto.exe` for Windows). Any additional files, if any, aren't 20 required to run Otto. 21 22 The final step is to make sure that `otto` is available on the PATH. 23 See [this page](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14637979/how-to-permanently-set-path-on-linux) 24 for instructions on setting the PATH on Linux and Mac. 25 [This page](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1618280/where-can-i-set-path-to-make-exe-on-windows) 26 contains instructions for setting the PATH on Windows. 27 28 ## Verifying the Installation 29 30 To verify Otto is properly installed, execute the `otto` binary on 31 your system. You should see help output. 32 If you get an error that Otto could not be found, then your PATH environment 33 variable was not setup properly. Please go back and ensure that your PATH 34 variable contains the directory where Otto was installed. 35
