Setting up certain things without sudo privileges on shared hosting can be a bit trickier but is often still possible depending on what exactly you're trying to set up. Here are a few general tips:
User-level Installation: Many software packages allow you to install them locally without needing sudo privileges. For example, you can use tools like pip for Python packages or npm for Node.js packages to install them in your home directory.
Custom Binaries: You can compile and install certain software packages to a custom directory within your home directory. This involves configuring the installation prefix when running the configure script during compilation.
Using Pre-built Binaries: Sometimes, pre-built binaries of certain software are available and can be installed to a directory where you have write permissions.
Virtual Environments: For Python projects, you can use virtual environments to install packages without sudo privileges. This keeps the installations isolated to your project directory.
Shell Scripting: If you need to run commands that require elevated privileges, you might be able to achieve your goals by writing shell scripts that perform specific tasks without needing sudo.
Utilizing Libraries: If you're working with web technologies, you can often use libraries and frameworks that don't require system-level installations. For example, you can use client-side JavaScript frameworks without needing sudo.
Communication with Hosting Provider: Depending on your hosting provider, they may offer ways to request specific software installations or configurations that you can't do yourself due to restricted privileges.
