My question is then how do you usually run mtxrun: 1) always writing the full path of the correct executable, 2) avoid putting [lmtx path]/bin in PATH, 3) putting [lmtx path]/bin _after_ [lmtx path]/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin in the PATH I'm asking here because option 1 is correct but not very handy, while 2) and 3) are different from what the installer says and they seemed to give other problems when I tried them.
