What does "set to root of installation" mean?

I’m still new to these kinds of computer terminologies. Can you help clarify something for me.

If I’m installing a piece of software from github and it says "set the environment variable… to the root of the installation"
Does that just mean that I should set the environment variable to the folder where I downloaded the software from?

ex: If I install something to /home/user/workspace
Would I then just set the environment variable to " = /home/user/workspace "

You answered the question yourself! The root serves as a directory in this case
