Description

Install in a different directory other than /usr/share by default.

Due to default settings in RHEL 8/9 /etc/fapolicyd/fapolicyd-filter.conf does not update fapolicyd database with entries in /usr/share that are not python, ruby, perl, javascript, ... etc.

Recommended to install in /opt. Which is "reserved for the installation of add-on application software packages."

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate fapolicyd configuration and installation paths for VSCode on RHEL to determine feasibility of installing in /opt.
