It is a good attempt, but it sounds like the author does not quite have a full Unix background.

Setup of Command Client

Setup of /usr/local/bin

Traditionally in Unix, the /usr/local/bin directory is,

• Reserved for binary applications that are manually installed and evoked from the command line
• Available from any location because it is in the system path
• Will not be touched by the core Operating System during upgrades

Though this is not common on Mac OS X, it is still Unix based. If you take a look at the default system path, even if the /usr/local/bin directory is not present, it is still in the path,

echo $PATH%
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin% # Results will vary depending on what is installed on your system.

The /usr/local directory will already exists on you system. However, depending on what is installed the bin directory probably does not exist yet so we will create it,

cd /usr/local
sudo mkdir bin

Next, we copy the synergy software into the bin directory.
