ipfs cli command missing

[MysticRyuujin]

• OS: Linux Mint 10
• Version of IPFS Desktop: 0.14.0

Describe the bug
Disclaimer, first time trying to use any ipfs tools.

First I tried using the AppImage. After running the app I thought I would try to check out the cli, but ipfs command was not found. So, I tried to install the ipfs tool. First, I tried to install it via snap (yes I have snaps enabled on Linux Mint) but that resulted in it wanting to init a new repo. So I figured ok, I'll try to install ipfs-desktop through snap too. That...didn't work either. When I started ipfs-dekstop through snap it initialized its own repo....

Then I did more research and I found a few closed issues here about the ipfs cli tool being installed / placed in the PATH when installing, and they seemed to suggest that if I installed via deb package that I would get a working ipfs-desktop, and ipfs cli from that single install...That didn't seem to work either?

So here I am, trying to figure out how to get a working ipfs-desktop install AND a cli ipfs working together nicely.

To Reproduce
See above description 😄

Expected behavior
I install ipfs-desktop, I get ipfs cli tool..OR there are some clear instructions to make the two things work together...

I don't know in what order of operations I did to get this fixed, but I think that installing ipfs-desktop from the deb put the repo into ~/.ipfs and now manually installing the go-ipfs binary into /usr/local/bin has it working...but I don't know why installing the deb didn't include the ipfs binary...

We had experiment in the past when ipfs-desktop added ipfs to PATH, but it was too expensive to maintain: it did not work reliably, clashed with ipfs installed by some other package, and we ended up deprecating it (it is removed from UI right now).

In short, if you want ipfs in terminal, follow https://docs.ipfs.io/install/command-line/ or use go-ipfs daemon package for your OS.
ipfs will inspect $IPFS_PATH/api file and connect to it by default, so just make sure IPFS_PATH points at the same repo as one used by ipfs-desktop. You can also override the API addres via ipfs --api if you choose to have multiple repos.

I'm closing this, If you feel https://docs.ipfs.io/install/command-line/ was hard to find, let us know how we could improve it 🙏
