Would it be appropriate to use the /opt directory?

To summarize, the "/opt" directory holds significant importance in the Linux
filesystem layout. It provides a designated location for optional software
installations, separating them from the core operating system components. This
separation enhances system management, security, and integrity.

/opt – Optional software
Traditionally, the /opt directory is used for installing/storing the files of
third-party applications that are not available from the distribution’s
repository.
The normal practice is to keep the software code in opt and then link the
binary file in the /bin directory so that all the users can run it.
