Motivation:
Current macOS installation instructions recommend using a global system path instead of home user directory, which may require admin privileges that aren't always available. Additionally, it assumes that a multi-step installer GUI will run, but no guidance for that installer is provided.
We should prefer installing into user's home directory and provide instructions that require as little manual intervention as possible.
Modifications:
A CLI command is listed that automatically installs into user's home directory, not requiring admin privileges, and also avoid running a multi-step GUI installer.
Result:
Instructions are easier to run and require less manual steps.
