I do not know if there is any pre-built *binary* that you can install
as non-root. (It would be hard for the manufacturer of a binary to
know which paths on your system are writable by you, and the paths
are often hard-coded into the binary.) I'm fairly sure, however, that
you can build from *source* as non-root and then use the resulting
binary as non-root.
