Please provide the following information

Installing method: install.sh

Describe the issue below:

Currently, the installer uses sudo in order to install the icon theme in /usr/share/icons

Feature proposal:

Give the user the choice between a global installation (/usr/shar/icons) or a user-specific installation ($USER/.local/share/icons). For installation in $USER/.local/share/icons, sudo won't be neccesary.

Please read Papirus Installer section carefully. The installer already supports any destination directory, and it doesn't require sudo if a user can write permission to the destination directory.
