+## The following one-liner takes directory path which contains install script.
+## `command -v -- "$0"` takes path if script sourced from interactive shell
+## `dirname` returns relative directory path to install script
+## `cd -P` dive into directory to use `pwd`
+## `pwd -P` prints full path to install script directory path
+## -P option allows to use symlinks in path
