Linux sh installer is broken in 9.1.0

[jmarrec]

Issue overview

The linux .sh install script isn't behaving correctly due to the lack of the extra level (#7148), it's installing everything at /usr/local/ instead of /usr/local/EnergyPlus-9-1-0 like it would have before.

With the official 9.1.0 install script EnergyPlus-9.1.0-08d2e308bb-Linux-x86_64.sh, even if you specify /usr/local/EnergyPlus-9-1-0 (after mkdir it), it's going to mess up a few things during the install, and all the symlinks in /usr/local/bin are broken:

Extracting, please wait...
Unpacking to directory /usr/local/EnergyPlus-9-1-0 was successful.

Hi, I am facing the same issue after installing EnergyPlus 9.1.0 from the sh file . Can someone help me with it?

Just use E+ 9.2 if you can.

For 9.1, Just use the tar.gz file and place it in /usr/local/EnergyPlus-9-1-0 then recreate the symlinks by hand...
