<p>The defaults vary slightly on Macs, as explained above in <a href="#OPTIONS">&quot;OPTIONS&quot;</a>.</p>
+<p>For the user trees, the default value uses <code>~</code>, and this is left as a literal <code>~</code> in <code>texmf.cnf</code>. That way, each user can have their own <code>TEXMFHOME</code>, etc., as intended. On the other hand, for the system trees, if <code>~</code> is used during the installation, this is assumed to simply be a typing shorthand, and the expanded home directory is written in <code>texmf.cnf</code>, since it doesn&#39;t make sense to have user-specific system directories.</p>

<p>For more on the directory trees and their intended usage, see the main TeX Live documentation at <a href="https://tug.org/texlive/doc">https://tug.org/texlive/doc</a>.</p>
<h1 id="BUGS">BUGS</h1>
-<p>The <code>install-tl</code> script copies itself into the installed tree. Usually, it can be run from there, using the installed tree as the source for another installation. Occasionally, however, there may be incompatibilities in the code of the new <code>install-tl</code> and the infrastructure, resulting in (typically) inscrutable Perl errors. The way forward is to run <code>install-tl</code> out of the installer package (<code>install-tl-unx.tar.gz</code> or <code>install-tl.zip</code>) instead of the installation. Feel free to also report the bug and generally the code can be easily synced up again.</p>
