Hey @ehllie!

I have good news for you: on Linux there is actually no requirement for the CLI binary to be in /usr/local/bin/op (the online documentation seems to contradict this; I'll get that fixed 😀).

On Linux, it is important that the CLI is owned by a group named onepassword-cli and has the setgid bit set. Check the https://developer.1password.com/docs/cli/get-started#requirements in the Getting Started guide how to do that (you can ignore the part about the /usr/local/bin/op).

Let me know if that helps.
