's' for system-wide. I think you are offered that as the default, so you will need to 'y' for yes if offered a system-wide install.

i tried home but it failed

It shouldn't have done. That's how I install it.

I use the system-wide install, as that is the recommended configuration, and I've never got it to work in the Home directory anyway

Odd.

I originally had a system-wide installation but could never find anything, so re-installed from scratch in my home area (whereupon I discovered it came with documentation) and have done so ever since.

Ha, I guess it's whatever works for you (and your computer).

I think he was trying to do a home directory install whilst logged in as root (as opposed to using sudo) - that may be confusing things.
