The copy usually matches the current stable BitBake release from the BitBake project.
BitBake, a metadata interpreter, reads the Yocto Project metadata and runs the tasks
defined by that data.
Failures are usually from the metadata and not
from BitBake itself.
Failures are usually from the metadata and not from BitBake itself.
Consequently, most users do not need to worry about BitBake.
The <filename>bitbake/bin/</filename> directory is placed
into the shell's <filename>PATH</filename> environment variable by the
<link linkend="structure-core-script">oe-init-build-env</link> script.

When you run the <filename>bitbake</filename> command, the wrapper script in
<filename>scripts/</filename> is executed to run the main BitBake executable,
which resides in the <filename>bitbake/bin/</filename> directory.
Sourcing the <link linkend="structure-core-script">oe-init-build-env</link>
script places the BitBake wrapper into the shell's <filename>PATH</filename> environment
variable.
