In which directory do you want to install the binary files? 
[/usr/bin] 

What is the directory that contains the init directories (rc0.d/ to 
rc6.d/)? 

The path "" is not an existing directory.

@CingulateCortex I'll take a look at this. I ran into a similar issue on Arch, and while I fixed the tools side for using 'ip' instead of 'ifconfig' I forgot I had made additional changes for the 'rc0.d - rc6.d' folders as well.

for x in {0..6}; do mkdir -p /etc/init.d/rc${x}.d; done

Running that code snippet before attempting to install the tools should fix it. I'll see if I can find a good spot to put that into the code. What is the base distribution of Antergos?

Should be fixed by #93 once its merged.
