Unable to install tarball to /usr/local

I have tried to install software from a tarball to /usr/local in my custom image build based on Secureblue, because while there is a Flatpak, it didn't work on Secureblue. However, on the installed system, the software isn't visible in /usr/local. The script I wrote to install the software is at https://github.com/greenrd/my-secureblue/blob/main/files/scripts/install-lossless-cut.sh and it does run during the build (see https://github.com/greenrd/my-secureblue/actions/runs/12853226446/job/35836138194). I have similarly tried to install it to /var/usrlocal but that also didn't work.

Solution:

You can just put installed software into /usr/bin
