Downloading and installing the pants launcher ...
Installed the pants launcher from https://github.com/pantsbuild/scie-pants/releases/latest/download/scie-pants-linux-x86_64 to /root/.local/bin/pants
/root/.local/bin/pants is not on the PATH.
You'll either need to invoke /root/.local/bin/pants explicitly or else add /root/.local/bin to your shell's PATH.

Running `pants` in a Pants-enabled repo will use the version of Pants configured for that repo.
In a repo not yet Pants-enabled, it will prompt you to set up Pants for that repo.

Isolates your Pants from the elements.

Please select from the following boot commands:

<default> (when SCIE_BOOT is not set in the environment)  Detects the current Pants installation and launches it.
bootstrap-tools                                           Introspection tools for the Pants bootstrap process.
update                                                    Update scie-pants.

You can select a boot command by setting the SCIE_BOOT environment variable.

I don't expect this to "work" (I think may tools balk at nonexistant TMPDIR, but I'd like the "No such file or directory " error to reference the directory that doesn't exist.
