Bug report info

N/A

Command used with act

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nektos/act/master/install.sh | sudo bash

Describe issue

New to using act and I used the install script on my Ubuntu WSL system and after installing the act command wasn't being recognized and I found out that the command creates the executable in a bin folder in my current working directory instead of adding it to my other user binaries, which is weird considering it doesn't mention that in the docs
github.com/nektos/act@9bd99e5d7c/install.sh (L13)
