+    By default, the installer installs K3s in the `/var/lib` directory,
+    but this might be a problem if you have limited space in `/var`
+    or your company policy forbids you to install there. You can
+    select a different directory for the K3s installation using the
+    `--installation-dir` option with `install.sh` (or

 RDI uses a database on your Redis Enterprise cluster to store its state
 information. *This requires Redis Enterprise v6.4 or greater*.
