Linux：如何将已安装的目录移动到其他地方？

Question

I am using LINUX machine.

I have install a folder in directory /mnt/sdc1 by running ./configure->make->make install . Right now, I want to move that folder out of /mnt/sdc to ~/New_Place .

What is the most convienent way to do this? Do I simply mv or do I do cp ?

Do I have to uninstall first?

Answer 1

mv changes the location of a file or directory.

cp copies a file or directory, and leaves the original alone.
