[QGIS-Developer] QGIS make install without root on Ubuntu

[Idan Miara]

Hi,

I've been following the building guide on Ubuntu 17.10 and came across the
following issue while running "make install" without root, then I get the
error message:

CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:36 (file):
  file INSTALL cannot set permissions on "/apps//apps/man/man1/qgis.1"

If I run it with sudo it installs fine
should it work without root?

I suppose you intended it to work without root, because I needed to the
following commands without $HOME or ${HOME} after running "sudo make
install" in order to run QGIS:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:${HOME}/apps/lib/
$HOME/apps/bin/qgis

Suppose I run make install, should I still be able to run QGIS from the
repos without any issues?

Kind Regards,
Idan
