One of the issues with the install script is that when its run by any user other than "solr" and installed into default directories, is that one might get ownership/permission problems.
The easiest way to avoid these is by creating the "solr" user BEFORE installing Solr as a regular "Login-User", and then install Solr while being logged into this account (Or sudo, etc..) and then install Solr with NON default values for directories, have everything installed within the "Solr" users home directory space, that way everything belongs to the solr user, it is then easily modified, by just logging into the solr account and one doesn't have to worry about ownership/permissions.. ad if one makes a mistake it only affects the "solr" user...
