In the docs and eg. in our config files, $JOHN is referring to the "run"
directory but has nothing to do with environment variables even if it
resembles one.
A normal build is meant to be run as eg. "cd /path/to/john/run" and then
"./john". There's also "system-wide builds" recommended for distros,
where john's run directory is eg. "/usr/share/john/run" and john will be
in PATH. Distros are also supposed to build fallback binaries, so the
same "john" executable is used regardless of you having AVX-512 or
anything down to just plain SSE2.
See for example doc/README-DISTROS
