Hi,

I'm fairly new to installing on linux, and was wondering if it's possible to install .deb packages on a shared hosting account?

I gave it a quick go using 'dpkg -i' but got an error saying I wasn't a superuser. As I understand from the wiki I can't use sudo to allow the install either. Does anybody know of a way I can do it?

Cheers

You'll have to download the source code and compile it manually.
