Install bazaar with local user and non root privilege

If you check bzr INSTALL file for installation instructions you will find there are two modes in which
bazaar installation can be done.

1. To install bzr as a user, run ( non root)

python setup.py install --home ~/bzr-installation-directory

2. To install system-wide, run (as root)

python setup.py install

For installing bazaar as a non root user follow the below steps.

• Create a directory under HOME

mkdir $HOME/bazaar

• Download the bazaar source code and un-tar in above directory

tar -xvf bzr-2.7.0.tar.gz

• Run install command in source code directory

 python setup.py install --home $HOME/bazaar/bzr-2.7.0/

This will create three directories – lib64 , man and bin.

• Set PATH and PYTHONPATH environment variables

 export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bazaar/bzr-2.7.0/bin/
 export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/bazaar/bzr-2.7.0/lib64/python
