 Sadly, Ubuntu reitroduced this bug and is [yet to fix it](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/+bug/1588562).
 Luckily, the fix is easy. Run this as your user: `echo 'PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> $HOME/.bashrc && source $HOME/.bashrc`

+In most situations you will want to answer `y` to all of the prompts.

 ?>**Note on FreeBSD**:
 It is suggested to run `qmk setup` as a non-`root` user to start with, but this will likely identify packages that need to be installed to your
 base system using `pkg`. However the installation will probably fail when run as an unprivileged user.
 To manually install the base dependencies, run `./util/qmk_install.sh` either as `root`, or with `sudo`.
 Once that completes, re-run `qmk setup` to complete the setup and checks.
