What about non-root users installing with Linux?

Python's Pip has some precedent:

It looks like the installation directory could come in as an option to the install script. Personally, I just want to be able to specify my packages directory to Tin instead of having Tin choose it for me. That would mean passing the directory in during the Tin command. But Tin needs to know where to look for packages. That argues for a separate "system" and "user" setting for packages.

It seems like I'd like a -user option for the installation, where -user specifies using the user installation root instead of the system. That directory would have to get set in some configuration.
