I haven't tried it before, here's my thoughts on the installation process:

1) I find it ironic that I must edit a config file to get a text UI installed where I want it to.

2) It's disquieting that it would default to installing in /usr/ and have no easy way to change it.

Perhaps it could accept a PREFIX like ./configure does, and default it to /usr/local ? This is not what everyone would want, but could prevent big problems in the future, and would be much easier to change than editing 8 different lines.

Code:

        app=tui

        [ -f install.sh ] || cd "$(dirname "$0")"

        if [ -z "$PREFIX" ]
        then
                echo "You have not specified a PREFIX, so $app will install in /usr/local ." >&2
                echo "This is probably not what you want.  Run PREFIX=/usr $0 to install in standard paths." >&2
                PREFIX="/usr/local/"
        fi

        DIR_BIN="$PREFIX/bin"
        # Default paths:
        DIR_COMPL="/etc/bash_completion.d"
        DIR_APP=$PREFIX/share/$app
        DIR_CFG=/etc/$app
        DIR_DOC=$PREFIX/share/doc/$app
        DIR_MAN1=$PREFIX/share/man/man1
        DIR_TPL=$DIR_APP/templates
