Description
I had an issue with installation failing because a directory in my path had a space in the name. The commands for Tables for example could be modified in anticipation of such a case. instead of cp Tables $(Homel)/AdmixTools it can be expressed as cp Tables "$(HOMEL)"/AdmixTools. There are simular instructions which could benefit from the change.

Research direction
Search the installation instructions and build commands for copy paths like the reported Tables command. Check how paths containing spaces are handled, then verify that the relevant installation steps work when the project is located under a directory with spaces. Done means all similar installation commands handle such paths consistently.
