echo You can run this to verify the install worked:
echo $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PREFIX/lib
echo $ mosh-server
echo (Running mosh-server should give you a pid and a key to use if you want to connect manually)
echo To connect to the server in the future, run this on your local machine:
echo $ mosh --server="LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PREFIX/lib $PREFIX/bin/mosh-server" $USER@$(hostname -f)
