Normally you want to install user programs to /usr/local/bin. This should
be part of everyone's path. The reason is for easy back up of your add-ons
and to give one general location everyone can find things. The install
manager of the program may have other ideas, just go with it if it does.
I'm not sure if you need to be root to install. Just make sure all files
and directories it is in have read/execute permissions set for group and
others.
