Hi! just to clarify, solc-select itself (i.e. the solc and solc-select executables) is installed wherever pip installs Python programs in your system. The solc binaries downloaded by solc-select (i.e. the ones you get when you run solc-select install 0.8.10 for example) are stored in ~/.solc-select/artifacts/

Excellent, thanks. I was hitting issues related to prior solc installations, so I starting looking for "what was where" and found something that didn't jar with my first reading of the readme.

I understand the readme's comment now :)

Feel free to close, or maybe something like

The versioned solc binaries are stored in ~/.solc-select/artifacts/.

could be a little clearer about what's stored in there.
