Confusion regarding prebuilt binaries vs UNIX installations
I'm using Linux without R.
On the website, the wording on pre-built binaries vs actual installers is a bit ambiguous.
When I installed using the UNIX installer script, it simply gave me a file called `./texlive` instead of `$HOME/.TinyTeX`.
I was quite confused and deleted and reinstalled several times, after which I settled on the pre-built binaries only and added the `bin/x86_64-linux` to the PATH by myself.
The wording is specifically like this:
> For Linux users, TinyTeX will be installed to $HOME/.TinyTeX and symlinks of executables (such as pdflatex) are created under $HOME/bin (or $HOME/.local/bin if it exists), which should be on the PATH environment variable.
I was confused for the reason that I wasn't getting that `$HOME/.TinyTeX` after using the installer script.
It will be much better if either of these options are taken:
1. The installation directory is actually changed to `$HOME/.TinyTeX` from `./texlive`
2. The UNIX installer version specifics are clarified on the website homepage.
