You will, of course, not be able to install setuid binaries this way - they'll install but (since you don't have permission to chown them to root or set the setuid bit on them) they'll just be normal binaries owned by you. The more complex the program or app you're installing the more fun you'll be up for :) You will then have a lot of "fun" setting the PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and other variables. deb files and use ' dpkg-deb -x' to extract them underneath your home directory. ~/includes.ĭepending on the specific details of the programs you want to install and the libraries they depend upon, you can download the. libraries can similarly be compiled and installed into ~/lib (set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to it), and development headers can be installed into e.g. The disadvantage to using dpkg like this is that error messages are likely to be cryptic dpkg doesn't automatically resolve dependencies or create the directory structure it expects.Compile and install into ~/bin (and edit your. It used to be possible to install b with dpkg into one's home directory.
The disadvantage to this approach is that you need the development environment available for this approach to work at all, and you might find yourself compiling dozens of packages in order to resolve all the dependencies. Usually this looks something like: apt-get source package apt-get source Approachįinally, you could use the apt-get source command to fetch the source of the package and configure it to install locally. This is a somewhat involved process, but one you should be able find community help for as many developers set up chroot environments for compiling code. schroot ApproachĪnother approach is to use schroot to create a non-root chroot. As long as all dependencies of the binary are installed, it should run as normal. Then you can export the PATH where the binary is. If the deb isn't in the Ubuntu repositories, apt-get package_name won't work, but you may be able to download it from a web site. deb Approach apt-get download package_name # replace `package_name` with the name of the package. Apt doesn't support it directly, but there are ways to do it.
