Description

On one hand there is the Readme.md providing information for cloning and building the suite manually.
On the other hand there are binaries packed in archives for different platforms provided on the 'releases' tab, which is very helpful for beginners.

What I am missing though, are instructions for what to do after unpacking the binary archives.

E.g. the wabt-1.0.15-linux.tar.gz : Extracting it gives a bunch of bin files ... is there a special target folder to copy them into?
What about the .asm files are they meant to be copied somewhere too?

(Note: There is for example the 'Programming WebAssembly with Rust' book which starts with wabt as WebAssembly introduction, but more or less "assumes" the binaries to be in /usr/local/bin).
