3. Call pppath. For more detail, see pppath --help.

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/a5ob7r/pppath/master/pppath > /usr/local/bin/pppath
# Or maybe need to run this instead if you have no permissions to write /usr/local/bin.
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/a5ob7r/pppath/master/pppath | sudo tee /usr/local/bin/pppath

# Add executable permissions to it.
chmod +x ~/bin/pppath
# Or
sudo chmod +x ~/bin/pppath
