Sketch and Library Manager (Linux)

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

I thought I understood Sketch->Include Library->Manage Libraries but I on a clean install with only one sketch, I tried to install "SdFat - Adafruit Fork" as opposed to Tools->Manage Libraries

I was trying to install the Adafruit Fork version for just my sketch as I have other sketches that use SdFat (non-Adafruit Fork).

I find that "SdFat-Adafruit Fork" library does not appear in a Library sub-directory of my sketch but rather in the $HOME/Arduino/libraries directory

Help with my misunderstanding would be appreciated greatly.

That is normal and expected. The Arduino Library Manager installs libraries globally, where they are available to use with any sketch.

If you want to bundle a dedicated copy of a library with your sketch, that should be done manually.
