You can try doing exactly that again, but after extracting, go to the REAPER sub folder (the folder named REAPER on the same level as the install-reaper.sh and the readme-linux.txt files). Inside that folder, create a new, empty file and name it reaper.ini (I do this using touch from a terminal, i.e. navigate to the REAPER folder and type "touch reaper.ini" without the quotes, then hit enter).

Now, simply run REAPER from the reaper executable file in the same folder and it will automatically populate the folder with everything needed for it to be a self-contained, portable install.

P.S. Sorry if I'm "teaching my grandmother to suck eggs" here - just wanted the explanation to be nice and clear...
