DESCRIPTION

       Installing  Golf  without  root access (for instance in a home directory of a user) can be helpful if you
       have no root permissions, or if you just want to test locally before installing Golf on your system.

       To install Golf locally without root access, first decide which directory you'd like to  install  it.  It
       can  be  any directory you can read/write access to. In this case, we'll use $HOME/.app/golf directory as
       an example.

       Set the Golf root directory:

           GG_ROOT="$HOME/.app/golf"

       Get wget and tar (some distros don't have it by default; you do need root access for this, or if not, ask
       your System Administrator to perform these tasks):

           sudo dnf install -y wget tar

       Download Golf source code and extract it:

           wget "https://github.com/golf-lang/golf/archive/refs/heads/main.tar.gz" -O main.tar.gz
           tar xvfz main.tar.gz
           cd golf-main

       Install dependencies (you do need root access for this, or if  not,  ask  your  System  Administrator  to
       perform these tasks):

           sudo dnf -y install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm || true
           sudo dnf install -y rpmdevtools
           sudo dnf builddep -y golf.spec

       Then compile the source:

           make -j$(nproc) GG_LOCAL=1 DESTDIR="$GG_ROOT"

       And install Golf:

           make GG_LOCAL=1 DESTDIR="$GG_ROOT" install

       In order for the installation to take effect, you must update paths (so executables and other files, such
       as man pages, are found):

           export GG_ROOT="$HOME/.app/golf"
           export PATH="$GG_ROOT/usr/bin":$PATH
           export C_INCLUDE_PATH="$GG_ROOT/usr/include":$C_INCLUDE_PATH
           export MANPATH=$GG_ROOT/usr/share/man/:$MANPATH
           mandb -u -c

       To  make these path settings permanent, add the above exports to the end of your $HOME/.bashrc file so it
       runs when you start a new session (or in any other file you execute before working with Golf).

       If you want to have SELinux enabled, you must have root access to setup Golf for SELinux, or if not,  ask
       your System Administrator to perform this (otherwise you must disable SELinux):

           sudo $GG_ROOT/usr/lib/golf/selinux/selinux.setup

       You've installed Golf!

       To test, type in command line:

           gg -g

       If you see the path you choose for GG_ROOT above, it's working!

       Note  that  if you're using Unix sockets (for instance for web servers to talk to your Golf server), your
       $HOME directory as well as Golf root directory must be searchable to  access  those  sockets  (if  you're
       using TCP ports instead of sockets, then this isn't necessary):

           chmod o+x $HOME
           find $HOME/.app/golf -type d -name '*' -exec chmod o+x {} \;

       Here's how to uninstall.
