Subject: [PATCH] fix: change default install dir from ./bin to
 /var/home/kushald/.local/bin

The install script was defaulting to ./bin (relative to current
working directory) instead of a proper user bin directory. This
caused act to be installed in whatever directory the user happened
to be in when running the install script, making it unfindable.

Fixes #2519
