Then configure `$PREFIX` with the path where you want to install Hue by running: PREFIX=/usr/share make install cd /usr/share/hue You can install Hue anywhere on your system, and run Hue as a non-root user. It is a good practice to create a new user for Hue and either install Hue in that user's home directory, or in a directory within `/usr/share`.
