Originally created by @millerthegorilla on GitHub (Nov 10, 2018).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/2257

I cloned the git repo, and ran the configure and make commands, then make install.
There were no profiles in the /etc/firejail/profiles afterwards.
Also, I've just reinstalled to check that the profiles were not installing, from memory, when I installed the last time, the firejail.user files were either created by myself or did not have the correct permissions (they had 0640).
I don't know if this is expected, but having installed on ubuntu in the past, there was a profile directory created. I am currently on fedora 29 with gnome 3.
Many thanks

My bad. The profiles are in /usr/local/etc... doh. Thanks anyway.

When installing from source, you'll get the profiles in /etc (and also the binary in the usual place) if you do ./configure --prefix=/usr

This is actually such a frequent source of confusion that I think it might be a good idea to have this documented on the homepage.

...but don't forget that usually (depending on $PATH) an installation in /usr/local is taking precedence over an installation in /usr/bin.

Having a second, unused installation of firejail on the system that is not receiving updates is kind of problematic anyways, so it would be wise to remove one of them.
