 MESSAGE="The launcher binary is renamed as 'helix', alias hx='helix' if you were using 'hx'.
-	Helix also needs its runtime files so make sure to copy/symlink the runtime/ directory into the config directory (for example ~/.config/helix/runtime).
-	Runtime directory is found in '/usr/lib64/helix/runtime'.
-	Then run 'helix --grammar fetch' then 'helix --grammar build' to install the grammars.
-	To customize language-specific settings, you can copy '/usr/share/doc/packages/helix/languages.toml'
