+ conditions. At the very least, you need to set + UNPRIVILEGED to + “yes”; this will + turn on unprivileged mode and set multiple related + variables to allow installation of packages as + non-root.

+ +

In case the defaults are not enough, you may want to + tune some other variables used. For example, if the + automatic user/group detection leads to incorrect values + (or not the ones you would like to use), you can change + them by setting UNPRIVILEGED_USER and UNPRIVILEGED_GROUP respectively.

As regards bootstrapping, please note that the + bootstrap + script will ease non-root configuration when given the + “--ignore-user-check” flag, as it + will choose and use multiple default directories under + ~/pkg as the installation + targets. These directories can be overriden by the + “--prefix” flag + provided by the script, as well as some others that allow + finer tuning of the tree layout.
