Hello as per my knowledge you cannot install any application in the directories that in the path like /usr/local/bin,/usr/bin/,/bin
to see the contents of the environment variable path.
So if you really want to install then install in your home directory like /home/peter/bin and add this directory to the path variable like
Then if you are compiling the source code you need to modify the Makefile.
open the Makefile using some editor and look for the BUILD_DIR:= attribute
and change it to /home/blah_blah. (your home path directory )
Otherwise if you are doing a binary then simply copy (or move the binary to that directory )
Hope it helps.
Regards.
