Installing on shell account</A>
</H2>
To install ClamAV locally on an unprivileged shell account you need not
create any additional users or groups. Assuming your home directory is
<code>/home/gary</code> you should build it as follows:
<PRE>
$ ./configure --prefix=/home/gary/clamav --disable-clamav
$ make; make install
</PRE>
To test your installation execute:
<PRE>
$ ~/clamav/bin/freshclam
$ ~/clamav/bin/clamscan ~
</PRE>
The <code>--disable-clamav</code> switch disables the check for existence of
the <SPAN CLASS="textit">clamav</SPAN> user and group but <code>clamscan</code> would still require an
unprivileged account to work in a superuser mode.
