Installation Guide for 8.0, Section "3.7 Installation in a Multiuser 
Environment"
and also here:
http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/installation/source.html#installation-in-a-multiuser-environment

erroneously inform the reader how to install in a system-wide or multi-user 
environment.

Following Step 3. "Using your *normal* user account, build Sage.", then 
Step 4 says:

Make a symbolic link to the sage script in /usr/local/bin: "ln -s 
/path/to/sage-x.y/sage /usr/local/bin/sage"

Really? Since the "/path/to/sage-x.y/sage" is still in your *normal* user 
account, no other "multiuser" can execute the sage script.

Can anyone properly share the process to install for a 
system-wide/multi-user environment?

Which executables are actually needed?  Should I copy the entire 'local' 
directory to someplace like /opt/SageMath?  Then what commands to change 
owner/group and permissions from my normal user?  I don't want to 'chmod 
755' everything.

Thank you!
