There are two reasons why you may wish to install the binaries in BLFS:
either you need a smaller install (e.g. at a minimum plain TeX without
LaTeX2e, ConTeXt, etc), or you wish to use <command>tlmgr</command> to
get updates whilst this version is supported (typically, until April of
LaTeX, ConTeXt, etc), or you wish to use <command>tlmgr</command> to
get updates whilst this version is supported (typically, until March of
the year after it was released). For the latter, you might prefer to
install in your <filename class="directory">/home</filename> directory
as an unprivileged user, and to then make corresponding changes to the
PATH in your <filename>~/.bashrc</filename> or equivalent.

If you wish to use ConTeXt with <command>luametatex</command> (most of
the old MKII and MKIV code was removed from TeXLive 2023 by the ConTeXt
developer), using the binary is probably the easiest option. The source
no-longer ships with TeXLive and is poorly adapted to building with
systems excepti those running Mac and Windows. See comments 1 to 5 of
<ulink url="&blfs-ticket-root;17823">#17823</ulink>.

If you have installed any of the luatex programs (luatex, luahbtex,
luajitex, luajithbtex) or ConTeXt with the luametatex backend there
was a security issue fixed by the introduction of luatex v1.17.0.
You should check the version with 'luatex --version' and if it is
less than 1.17.0 you can use tlmgr to update.
