On first run when generating seed, the script incorrectly states the seed is located in /home/devadmin/.phoenix but in reality it is in ~/.phoenix/seed.dat

 ./phoenixd

Backup
This software is self-custodial, you have full control and responsibility over your funds.
Your 12-words seed is located in /home/devadmin/.phoenix, make sure to do a backup or you risk losing your funds.
Do not share the same seed with other phoenix instances (mobile or server), it will cause issues and channel force closes.

Please confirm by typing [I understand]: I understand

/home/devadmin/.phoenix is the same as ~/.phoenix. Or do you mean that it is unclear that .phoenix is a directory and not the full path to the seed.dat file?

Yes, I think it can be more clear that it is a directory it may be more clear if it says:
Your 12-words seed is located in ~/.phoenix/seed.dat,
or
Your 12-words seed is located in /home/devadmin/.phoenix/seed.dat,
In any case not a huge issue, i think it would be more clear like this and avoid users trying to nano /home/devadmin/.phoenix
