Description
I am a newbie to hyper, and I experienced the below issue at the very first day with hyper.
On Windows10:
- after installation, no shortcut created on the desktop, and also, no folder called hyper in
c:\Program Files, which makes it hard to find hyper. - If
C:\Users\${userName}\AppData\Local\hyperis acceptable, then how about the config location:C:\Users\sihun\AppData\Roaming\Hyper? Well, I prefer user_home, or use the same directory of the installation. Besides, no documentation in the README talking about the location, which makes it hard when trying to installing some packages/plugin, since newbies don't know where to config.
