In the Linux/MacOS tab of the "Run the application" step, the manual install guide runs:

invokeai-web --root $Home/invokeai

$Home is a PowerShell-style variable. In bash/zsh, variable names are case-sensitive, so $Home is undefined and expands to empty — the command becomes invokeai-web --root /invokeai, pointing Invoke at /invokeai instead of the ~/invokeai directory created in step 2.

Fix: use ~, matching the Linux/MacOS commands earlier in this same guide (mkdir ~/invokeai / cd ~/invokeai). The Windows/PowerShell tab (which correctly uses $Home elsewhere) is left unchanged.

Docs-only, no functional change.

used $Home/invokeai. In bash/zsh, variables are case-sensitive, so $Home is
undefined and expands to empty, starting Invoke with --root /invokeai instead
of the ~/invokeai directory created earlier. Use ~, matching the Linux/MacOS
commands earlier in the same guide.
