After using the script to setup DMD nightly i read in the output that i have to
run "source ~/dlang/dmd-master-2018-01-04/activate" to have DMD DUB etc working.

Is there another activation command, working without the date, suitable for a cron job ?

"source ~/dlang/dmd-nightly/activate" doesn't work but would be better when you just want to use the nightly

wget https://nightlies.dlang.org/dmd-nightly/dmd.master.linux.tar.xz
tar xf ./dmd.master.linux.tar.xz03:12
export PATH=$PATH:`pwd`/dmd2/linux/bin64

works fine. maybe you should add something to the script to install and activate latest nightly in one step.
