    ./Lorien.x86_64
    cd – <== returns us to the previous directory
    sudo cp -R Lorien_0.5.0_Linux/ /usrbin/ <== copies directory to /usr/bin/
    sudo ln -s /usr/bin/Lorien.x86_64 /usr/bin/lorien <== link to be executable from anywhere

    sudo cp * /usr/bin/

    sudo ln -s /usr/bin/Lorien.x86_64 /usr/bin/lorien
