For almost all Unix software, you'd download the source, extract it, and run ./configure --prefix=/home/yourusername/softwarename. So for Erlang/CouchDB, ./configure --prefix=/home/you/couchdb.
But I don't know if CouchDB and Erlang are standard autoconf tools. Also, all users on the system will be able to access your CouchDB instance, so be sure not to run it in Admin Party mode. --- Keith Gable A+ Certified Professional Network+ Certified Professional Web Developer On Fri, Nov 11, 2011 at 8:05 PM, Stephan Bardubitzki < step...@bardubitzki.com> wrote: > Our ISP doesn't has any problem with running server processes.
