The question is malformed.  You can't 'install' anything as a user 
unless you install into the user's home directory.  You shouldn't need 
to install anything under the user's home directory.  Just build 
everything as an unprivileged user, and then install as root as per the 
book's instructions.  Even that is not 'best' practice, but is the 
current 'recommended' practice...hopefully that will change for 7.0, but 
7.0 is a *long* way off.
