On linux you usually install executables in readonly directories i.e. /usr/bin and keep the data separate per user so in /home/username/.

On top of that usually data files and config files are not stored directly in the user directory and are kept separate according to the XDG standard.

To handle this issue this change can be done to the app

Store the Catapult executable anywhere but at /usr/bin/catapult by default
Store the data at $XDG_DATA_HOME/Catapult

This will also open the door for flatpak packaging.
