"/usr/local/bin is not writable" — can I put the command somewhere else?

Asked 7,180 views1 answer

Shared dev host, no sudo, never will have sudo. Our team wiki says to pass --bin-dir /usr/local/bin so everyone has the command in the same place, and the install gets all the way to writing it and then:

text
/usr/local/bin is not writable.
  Pass --bin-dir <writable path>.

The hint is clear enough, I just want to know whether that leaves anything half-installed behind.
