In several distros there is no longer a .bashrc, but a .profile. Plus 
wouldn't a user need to make all these directory's 1st ? Then reboot? 
And what is the reasoning for installing to /home ? Installed normally 
all I need to do is enter tlf at the prompt.

To install tlf I ran the following::

sudo apt build-dep tlf

That brought everything needed all at the same time.

Interesting discussion.
