The bar's path must go directly up and down, no deviation. keep centered with the middle of your foot. Always watch your form, and hunt more and more videos on the matter, both professional and amateur alike. Absorb all information on form and movement, mainly because it sounds a little like form is a concern. Take videos of yourself doing it, post as a 'form-check' or even just critique yourself. But never use mirrors and critique at the same time as the lift -- you will throw yourself and your form off.
Always, be safe.

You should consider what squat form your using in the sense of low bar vs high bar. Low bar activates the posterior chain way more than high bar. Also what you're explaining sounds like a front squat right off the bat. As Landao said definitely think of it as a compound movement, and remember to push the bar with your body too and not just your legs. Look up Alan Thrall on youtube.

I only use bodyweight so no bar or anything
