So I got this working in my home directory but want the SageMath directory system wide. I moved it to /opt and changed ownership to root.root, however this causes now a disagreement with the SAGE_ROOT environment variable. Should I unpack the tarball as root there to install or is there an easy config/make that I can run on this directory to get it to work as a system wide install?
