Basically all makefiles you run into in the wild for mature projects allow you to install it with a prefix. e.g. into the home folder. No need to sudo anything if you do that.

This is an important point lost in the noise.

The problem is that cattle should apply only to containers, not hosts or VMs. Why? root. Which is also why Docker is a nonstarter for anyone who wants to use containers securely.
