-Because Linux install locations can vary widely, we do not assume that Binary Ninja has been installed in any particular folder on Linux. Instead, first unzip the installation zip wherever you wish to install BN, and then run `binaryninja/scripts/linux-setup.sh`. This sets up file associations, icons, and adds BN's Python library to your python path. Run it with `-h` to see the customization options.
+Because Linux install locations can vary widely, we do not assume that Binary Ninja has been installed in any particular folder on Linux. Instead, first unzip the installation zip wherever you wish to install BN. Next, for paid versions, run `./binaryninja/scripts/linux-setup.sh`. This sets up file associations, icons, and adds BN's Python library to your python path. Adding the library to your path is most helpful for headless functionality in commercial licenses, but even on non-commercial plugins it can help IDE's find the type information to make plugin development easier. Run the script with `-h` to see customization options.
