Installing Software without being root.
So you have got a Linux login, but you’re not root. And you need to install some software, because it is not installed yet.
If you have a Java Runtime Engine installed, just download and unpack the software,
then run it with: java -jar the.jar
There’s python2, and there’s python3. And there’s pip2, and pip3 to manage python packages in your $HOME directory.
pip3 list —user # list packages installed as user
pip3 install —user pkg # install package for user
cmake # -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=~/you
./configure; make; make install # use —prefix at configure to set a destination path
make # you might want to edit the Makefile
Try to run dosbox ., and then your software in there
Try to with wine your.exe
If you do not have the source. You can find out with ldd which libraries the binary is linked against. And use $LD_LIBRARY_PATH to provide your own libraries.
Just put them in ~/.fonts
