You only need to be root to install. All the other things should be doable as |
| 14 |
a normal user. Possibly it would mean some maintenance on the /var/tmp dir |
| 15 |
though. |

For install, please take a look at libcap. It allows one to have only the |
| 18 |
capabilities you need. That way chmod would be allowed by the proper user to |
| 19 |
make the install fase work correctly. You would probably want to have the ide |
| 20 |
ask for these rights in this case. |
