As mentioned above, installing to the distribution approved location such as /usr/local/share/FlightGear/ (for Ubuntu/Debian like distros) would require using something like sudo and prompting for the users password. However, this could be done in helper programs such as fgrun [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1434342&group_id=65363&atid=510696]. Despite implementing this it still may not be successful as most distributions do not allow general users to use sudo. | As mentioned above, installing to the distribution approved location such as /usr/local/share/FlightGear/ (for Ubuntu/Debian like distros) would require using something like sudo and prompting for the users password.
