Installation script doesn't set the path to the poetry installation dir to $PATH on MacOS without $ZDOTDIR specified

See original GitHub issue

I am on the latest Poetry version.
I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
If an exception occurs when executing a command, I executed it again in debug mode (-vvv option).

MacOS BigSur 11.1 (20C69):
P1.1.4:

Issue

After I’d executed curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python3 - I tried to get the version:

$ poetry --version                                                                                
zsh: command not found: poetry

I checked .zshrc and didn’t found anything related to poetry. Then I reviewed the code of get-poetry.py and found that in order to setup the path to poetry ZDOTDIR env variable should be set. But there is nothing in the docs about it. By default it is not set.

Confirmed on macOS 11.2.3 (Big Sur), the latest version of macOS at the time of writing.

Impact is that Poetry is not usable after installation on the latest macOS 11, for a fresh macOS 11. This is a poor first-time run experience for the latest version of macOS and I would advocate it be treated as high priority.

get-poetry.py is deprecated. Use install-poetry.py from now on. Here we decided to not set any environment variables at all, because people don’t like it.
