Yes,nessus creates /yourpath/bin directory.Also it creates /usrpath/sbin 
directory.
Under the /sbin  directory,you will also have other necessary binaries like 
nessusd,
the server,nessus-adduser,nessus-mkcert etc.

Fisrt of all,you must run the nessus-mkcert to create certificates for ur 
server and
run nessus-adduser to connect to clients through nessus.Executing 
nessus-mkcert
will create necessary *.pm files at default location and will also tell the 
location to
you.

Better refer the README_SSL for more informations about creating SSL
certificates.
