Documentation on non-root installation

Open fwolfst opened this issue 8 years ago • 3 comments

I am sure there is a way to install all necessary eggs and stuff "local" in the sense that no sudo/root access is needed. I am not very native Python but figured that pip --user might be the thing to do. Would you mind updating the docs with the correct way of doing so?

Update Also setup.py accepts --user; result is a running rein command. Could not yet validate if everything works as expected.

Thanks Felix. I'll have to test. Which platforms have you tried this on?

Works on Ubuntu 14.04 with pip/setup.py and --user flag. rein is found afterwards in .local/bin/rein.

Also, would be nice if one can point to the installation path of tor (via argument or environment variable) - if not found in systemwide path.
