Description
I tried to install keybase using the installer. It seems to install fine, but it doesn't tell me where it got installed so I don't know where the executable is.
```

Welcome to keybase.io!
You have now successfully installed the command-line client. If you're new to the
service run:
$ keybase signup # signup for a new account
$ keybase push # to push your public key to the server
-- or --
$ keybase gen # generate a new key and push it
If you already signed up via the Web or another keybase client, try:
$ keybase login # establish a session with the server, and pull down keys
Once you're configured, you can:
$ keybase prove twitter # prove your twitter identity
$ keybase id max # to identify a friend
$ keybase track max # to track them and write a proof to the server
And then attempt crypto actions like enc/dec/verify/sign. See `keybase --help` for
more details.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the npm install keybase-installer flow through node_modules/.bin/keybase-installer and inspect the installer output and installation location it reports. Done means the installer clearly identifies where the keybase executable was installed, so the user can invoke it or update PATH accordingly.
