The build instructions advise to put an apps dir in your home path e.g.

~/apps

If you choose to put apps in the root path i.e. /apps you must make sure you have given yourself permissions to that path.

Hi,

I've been following the building guide on Ubuntu 17.10 and came across the following issue while running "make install" without root, then I get the error message:

CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:36 (file):
  file INSTALL cannot set permissions on "/apps//apps/man/man1/qgis.1"

If I run it with sudo it installs fine
should it work without root?

I suppose you intended it to work without root, because I needed to the following commands without $HOME or ${HOME} after running "sudo make install" in order to run QGIS:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:${HOME}/apps/lib/
$HOME/apps/bin/qgis

Suppose I run make install, should I still be able to run QGIS from the repos without any issues?

Kind Regards,
Idan
