If a `SETUP_UTILS` item is missing, the error is not helpful. about dorothy HOT 5 CLOSED

also, when this "error" happens/occurs the installers stops. it would be great if it just moved on to the next package (maybe im not sure 😃)

fyi the list of commands this happens for is:

direnv        
fasd          
fzf           
gnuplot
libxml2       
libzip        
lua           
luarocks      
ncurses       
neofetch

So setup-utils takes SETUP_UTILS array, then iterates through that's array's items, calling the setup-util-${item} command. If that command does not exist, then the ability to know how to install it has not yet been figured out.

In your dotfiles repo, you have many setup-user-* commands, I believe you are trying to emulate what setup-utils and SETUP_UTILS are already doing.

We should detect this however, and alert the user to an instruction/documentation on how to code their user/commands/setup-util-${the missing item} command.

it would be great if it just moved on to the next package (maybe 😃 )

agreed

Commit ae0c5ee

Now provides clear instructions on what the issue is and how to resolve it.

For your dotfiles, you are best off renaming your setup-user-* commands to setup-util-*, and deleting setup-user and replacing what it did with SETUP_UTILS=(...) additions

Its gonna be my pleasure to do this
