 How to load the feisty meow script environment
@@ -27,17 +28,17 @@ How to load the feisty meow script environment
 Set up the feisty_meow scripts; this is only needed once, when you first get
 the codebase.  It will also regenerate the scripts using the latest installed
 version.
-# bash ~/feisty_meow/scripts/core/reconfigure_feisty_meow.sh
+# bash /opt/feistymeow.org/feisty_meow/scripts/core/reconfigure_feisty_meow.sh
 
 Connect the feisty meow scripts to your login script (in ~/.bashrc).
 Note that this actually modifies ~/.bashrc.  This step is only needed once.
-# bash ~/feisty_meow/scripts/core/connect_feisty_meow.sh
+# bash /opt/feistymeow.org/feisty_meow/scripts/core/connect_feisty_meow.sh
 
 Load the script environment into the current shell.  This can be done for
 any new shell.  This is idempotent, so it does no harm to run it again.
 Note that you should not need this step if you connected feisty meow to
 ~/.bashrc above.
-# source ~/feisty_meow/scripts/core/launch_feisty_meow.sh
+# source /opt/feistymeow.org/feisty_meow/scripts/core/launch_feisty_meow.sh
 
 When the feisty meow script environment loaded, many new aliases and
 functions are available for use.  These come from the $FEISTY_MEOW_SCRIPTS
