One question does beg asking there- why do you not have root access on a machine upon which you are trying to install a rather major piece of software?

Please do not contact me by email or PM for help. We're all volunteers here, and only have so much free time to dedicate to our efforts.

However, if I've been working on a thread with you already, and seem to have "forgotten" your thread, please do send me a message. I try not to let things slip through the cracks, but it does happen sometimes.

Hi

Actually I need to install the same on a common server that is being used by 10 of us in r grp.
I thought may be we install it on our own rather than contacting the sys admin for same . THat would take a bit of time

Is there any wayout ???


Best Regards

Nope. You need root priviledges. If it's not your server, get permission from the admin. It might save you some heartache, or even your job, if installing unauthorized software is against your company's IT policy.
