Anyway, just do 'sudo make install-system' to install it globally.

A word of caution with 'sudo' on debian systems. Having migrated to Debian from Ubuntu (via Linux Mint) I've been caught out on a few occasions with sudo as I believe debian does not set up default new users with certain system commands in the search path. So, for example, if I run:

    sudo aptitude update

the command may fail if some of the post-processing involves running system commands that are not in the user's default search path.

I could of-course just fix my path but usually I become root using 'su -' or 'sudo su -' then run the commands that way.

It may not be an issue but it's worth being aware.
