Remove `sudo` requirement #17

Allow local installation path in Makefile so that sudo is not required.

I'll see how I can reduce the sudo requirement. So far it's been used where I thought it's necessary: e.g. apt and rm -rf [git-repo]. Although symbolic linking can be moved to /usr/local/bin/ instead of /urs/bin I'm not too sure about /lib and /usr/lib: they aren't included in PATH and they are where I had to create the links.

Should we add the links to /usr/local/lib or stick to sudo requirements?

You make a good point. I guess an alternative would be to separate out functionality in the Makefile to more targets. Having the following functionality for example will be useful.

make linker_requirements
make download_electricdss
make download_klusolve
make build_electricdss
make build_klusolve

Then perhaps, the sudo can be in just the linker_requirements target. Thoughts?
