I used to have it install to /usr/local but I changed it recently.

I've been thinking about this for a while, but not 100% sure the correct direction. My thoughts so far:
- By default Bake should install everything into a valid location.
- We want to be able to install without overwriting package managed programs
- /usr/local requires root privileges to install
- There are files outside of /usr (e.g. /etc, /var) that might need to be installed
- Matching /usr/local does have some consistency with existing systems
- We want to be able to install without requiring root
- It would be nice to install to ~/.local
