Installing software on Linux without root privileges
- by Igor Oks
At my workplace I have a regular user account on RedHat and Suse machines. I don't have root privileges.
How can I install software that I download from the internet (from sources or binaries)?
For example, now I want to install the Geany IDE for my own use. I tried to download sources and compile, and I tried to install the RPM, but non of of these works because it requires the root.
