VThen I really urge you to use the text-mode installer. There, you
can configure even more subdirectories:
===============================================================================
Directories customization:
<1> TEXDIR: /usr/local/texlive/2018
support tree: /usr/local/texlive/2018/texmf-dist
<2> TEXMFLOCAL: /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local
<3> TEXMFSYSVAR: /usr/local/texlive/2018/texmf-var
<4> TEXMFSYSCONFIG: /usr/local/texlive/2018/texmf-config
<5> TEXMFVAR: ~/.texlive2018/texmf-var
<6> TEXMFCONFIG: ~/.texlive2018/texmf-config
<7> TEXMFHOME: ~/texmf
Note: ~ will expand to $HOME (or to %USERPROFILE% on Windows)
See how much raw power you have been denying yourself by using a GUI
installer!
