Hi everyone,

This is an official release from the MBSE Development Team.

If you install MBSE in any other directory besides /opt, we will not support
this.

From the MBSE docs ("MBSE BBS Basic Installation"):

"MBSE BBS is default installed in /opt/mbse [on GNU/Linux].  It should be
possible to install the bbs in a different location but this is not
supported.  Many have tried, and and only a few have succeeded.  See
Filesystem Hierarchy Standard for more info."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard

TL;DR: Install MBSE anywhere but /opt and you're your own tech support.

(Note: this doesn't apply for FreeBSD where FreeBSD will install MBSE in
/usr/local/opt.)
