Install not as root

  • 772

I currently have a process that does sudo apt-get on a large number of files, sudo make install and the like.

Is there a simple way to use these scripts when I do not have root access?

apt

  1. User APT

    I am not familiar with a way to install deb's through apt for a normal user. Many times, additional packages are required and some may need to be installed at root level to function normally.

    User MAKE

    1. mkdir ~/bin/
    2. echo "PATH=${PATH}:/home/USER/bin >> ~/.bashrc
    3. ./configure --prefix=/home/USER/bin
    4. make --prefix=/home/USER/bin
    5. make install

    This creates a directory in your home directory called bin. It then adds that directory to the list of locations the system will check for a binary. The last three steps are configuring/compiling/installing the source to your user's bin directory.
