How to install on a linux server without sudo privilege ?

[ghost]

Hi,

I tried to install but I failed on a linux server + cpanel that I use to host websites.

I have done this : wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ta-lib/ta-lib-0.4.0-src.tar.gz tar -xzf ta-lib-0.4.0-src.tar.gz cd ta-lib/ then because I don't have root access and admin rights I have done this :

export TA_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/myfolder/public_html/python/trading_strategies/ta-lib/lib
export TA_INCLUDE_PATH=/home/myfolder/public_html/python/trading_strategies/ta-lib/include
make
make install

then pip install ta-lib

And I have this results: What do you think ? What should I do ?

Did you see the error?

      error: command '/opt/rh/devtoolset-7/root/usr/bin/gcc' failed: No such file or directory

[ghost]

thanks for replying. I have seen this but I am not sure what to do with it. I believe it comes from that I don't have root & admin so it cannot create this folder. Or that I need to install gcc as I read somewhere but since I was not able to install it without root&admin access. I am only a beginner with linux.

[mrjbq7]

as far as I can tell, you need a C compiler to install it...

[ghost]

((trading/strategies:3.10)) [thomjyty@world-394 trading_strategies]$ which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc
((trading/strategies:3.10)) [thomjyty@world-394 trading_strategies]$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-44)

I just googled for /opt/rh/devtoolset-7 and found

Use which g++ to see which compiler is in your path. The RHDTS GCC executable path will begin with /opt/rh. Alternatively, use g++ -v to confirm that the version number is the correct one for RHDTS.

$ which g++
/opt/rh/devtoolset-7/root/usr/bin/gcc
$ g++ -v
g++ (GCC) 7.2.1 20170729 (Red Hat 7.2.1-1)

If which returns /usr/bin/g++, or g++ -v shows a different version, you need to run scl enable to add RHDTS GCC and the rest of RHDTS to your environment.

$ scl enable devtoolset-7 bash

I guess you need to execute this from the same account you used to wget the TA-Lib

[ghost]

thanks for replying It gaves me Unable to open /etc/scl/conf/devtoolset-7!

[trufanov-nok]

Perhaps it does related to the lack of administrative rights, but it's not related to ta-lib. It's about accessing to gcc. Could you ask server support for advise?

[ghost]

I won't ask the hosting service support because mostly they advise to buy an hosting plan with admin rights and that what I ask is not included in my plan. Which they are not wrong. I have found an alternative as a pure python library so I am not gonna use Ta-Lib. thanks everyone !
