Remove root requirement #43

Closed HighPriest closed 3 years ago

HighPriest commented 3 years ago

Would it be possible to make binaries and libraries this project depends on, available on a user level? It would be very useful on multiuser freebsd installations, where root level changes are not optimal.

What root requirement?

HighPriest commented 3 years ago

The installation process requires root privileges and it would be beneficial if the whole application could be ran without it. I have solved my problem by putting my steam application in a docker container.

Well, all scripts are runnable directly from a git checkout (after compilation, that is). The installation step is there for convenience, it's not a requirement.

Quit trolling. FreeBSD's Linux emulation layer is not capable of running Docker/Flatpack/whatever containers (yet).
