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.
