Description

**Describe the bug**
When install.command asks for an install directory and you type in something with a ~ say `~/Applications` it will install it to `/Users/USERNAME/~/Applications` instead of `/Users/USERNAME/Applications`

**To Reproduce**
1. Run install.command
2. Continue with the prompts until you encounter `Provide the installation folder [default: dataloader] :`
3. Enter any relative path including ~

**Expected behavior**
instead of creating a folder called `~` it should use ~ as the user's home directory

**Desktop (please complete the following information):**
- OS: Mac OS 15.7.1 (24G231)
