[erlang-questions] Installing kerl

[lloyd@REDACTED]

I'd like to install kerl on my dev system.
 
I can download it fine from GitHub and make it executable:
 
~$ ls -l kerl
-rwxrwxr-x 1 lloyd lloyd 66489 Nov 20 13:26 kerl
 
But I need to add to $PATH but find a black hole in my Linux chops and Google sources confusing.
 
I try:
 
~$ PATH=/home/lloyd/kerl:$PATH
~$ echo $PATH
/home/lloyd/kerl:/home/lloyd/.cache/rebar3/bin:/home/lloyd/bin:/home/lloyd/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin
 
Seems to work. Bui my first kerl command fails:
 
~$ kerl list releases
No command 'kerl' found, did you mean:
 Command 'erl' from package 'erlang-base-hipe' (universe)
 Command 'erl' from package 'erlang-base' (main)
 Command 'perl' from package 'perl-base' (main)
kerl: command not found
 
Ideally I'd like kerl to be available with every console session. But I don't know how to do that.
 
Please show me the way.
 
Thanks,
 
LRP
