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?

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 ???

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.
