You got a warning that the install dir is not in your path.

Take a look into the install dir:

ls /home/dani/.local/bin

Is legendary listed?

If so, you either do:

cd ~/.local/bin
./legendary

or

~/.local/bin/legendary

You can’t expect the system to search through everything on your drive to find the one executable file you’re trying to run, it only searches through dirs in your $PATH. If it’s in a different dir, you need to give the entire path to it.
