It doesn't. It just installs the framework. The tools are in
subdirectories of the extracted file; you put them wherever you want.

It can't, of course. You would have to re-run the app as root. If
you try to update without sufficient privileges, the app will respond
with a dialog:
dabo.ui.info(_("You do not have permission to update the necessary
files. "
"Please re-run the app with administrator privileges."), title=_
("Permission Denied"))

Assuming you have privileges, the same way as anything else: the
files are copied to the correct location within the egg.
