Howto easily install stuff in your home directory ( without uid=0, root )
- Get the toast:
eyck@hostname:~$ wget -O- http://toastball.net/toast/toast|perl -x - arm toast
(actually, you shouldn't do that. You should download the toast script, review it to make sure it realy does what is should, and then you can try running it) -
Prepare the environment:
eyck@hostname:~$ ln -s .toast/armed/bin/ .
eyck@hostname:~$ ln -s .toast/armed/man/ .
Now add something like this to your .bash_profile:# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists if [ -d ~/bin ] ; then PATH=~/bin:"${PATH}" fi # do the same with MANPATH if [ -d ~/man ]; then MANPATH=~/man:"${MANPATH}" fiAnd then load it:eyck@hostname:~$ . .bash_profile
Your PATH should look roughly like this: PATH=/home/eyck/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin -
Try it out:
eyck@hostname:~$ toast arm openssh
After few lines of getting the package... and then compiling it... you should see the results:eyck@hostname:~$ bin/ssh -V OpenSSH_3.7.1p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0.9.6c 21 dec 2001
Congratulations! your toast is now ready to eat. You can now go berzerk:
eyck@hostname:~$ toast arm mplayer
eyck@hostname:~$ toast arm fluxbox
eyck@hostname:~$ toast arm screen
