[DISCUSS] Should have a unified installation path

[Fuchange]

We have too many installation paths now.

Like the line 20 to 32 of /bin/apisix :

if [ -s './apisix/cli/apisix.lua' ]; then
    # install via source
    APISIX_LUA=./apisix/cli/apisix.lua
elif [ -s '/usr/share/lua/5.1/apisix/cli/apisix.lua' ]; then
    # install via luarock
    APISIX_LUA=/usr/share/lua/5.1/apisix/cli/apisix.lua
elif [ -s '/usr/local/apisix/deps/share/lua/5.1/apisix/cli/apisix.lua' ]; then
    # install via shell
    APISIX_LUA=/usr/local/apisix/deps/share/lua/5.1/apisix/cli/apisix.lua
else
    # install via official rpm or docker
    APISIX_LUA=/usr/local/apisix/apisix/cli/apisix.lua
fi

Skip of the first one, we have :

• /usr/share/lua/5.1 : by luarocks make or make install (at CI)
• /usr/local/apisix/ : by rpm or docker
• /usr/local/apisix/deps/share/lua/5.1/ : by ./utils/install-apisix.sh install

Same problem with the deps :

• /usr/share/lua/5.1 : by luarocks install (at CI)
• /usr/local/apisix/deps/share/lua/5.1/ : by rpm or docker
• ./ : by make deps (I cant even install deps to my system by make)

Should we integrate into /usr/local/apisix/ or another path ?

Better also start this discussion on the mail list.
