How do I "point" the install to a particular drive? Do I need to alter part of the code I enter into the terminal in the instructions on the linux download page?
If you look at the calibre Linux download page, there is advice there about changing the install directory. To quote from that page:

Change /opt to whatever directory you want calibre automatically installed to.

Code:
sudo -v && wget -nv -O- https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.sh | sudo sh /dev/stdin install_dir=/opt
You might also want to look at the isolated install option which is probably the closest to a portable install using the installer shell script.
