Now you also need to move 'ya' by
sudo mv yazi-temp/*/ya /usr/local/bin, becasue now there's new features like installing flavors and plugins needs 'ya'Thanks for the information! I've updated the installation command in the post.
ubuntu 22.04, run
./yazicause /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: versionGLIBC_2.39not found errortry
and solve it
GLIBC_2.XX not found errors can occur on older Ubuntu versions. In such cases, you can use the statically linked Yazi binary (built with musl libc), as shown in your command.
