Nobody should ever follow those terrible instructions, they leave 
you so fragile in the event of future updates, takes superuser 
install access, and just generally scatters crap.

If anything that page should be marked like "FOR PACKAGE 
MAINTAINERS ONLY" (even then I wouldn't do it that way but at 
least that's a kinda valid use case) since no end user should 
ever mess with that.

Just unzip it in place. Maybe add it to your PATH if that's your 
thing. But don't go scattering files, you'll regret it when it 
comes update time.
