a few issues with the install.py script when installing from GitHub releases #416

When following the quick start guide I didn't run into any issues following the "git clone" version of the instructions, but when following the instructions for what you download from releases there were a few issues I saw that cropped up:

  1. The directory created into which the .tar.gz files are extracted needs to be chowned from root to the non-root user
  2. It doesn't prompt you to pull the docker images like the git-cloned logic does
