how to change the installation directory when installing from source #1304

Description

@AnonymousAccount6688

I don't have the root permission, so I tried to install from source. I used the command sh install-from-source.sh.

However, it always install to the directory /usr/local/bin, which I cannot since I don't have the permission to write file into the directory.

Is there a way, like --prefix= to change the installation directory to my home directory?
