Just in the build tree. You need to be root to install the modules in /lib/modules using "make modules_install", but everything else can be done as a normal user. If you want to have them installed somewhere else, you don't need to be root, btw, "make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/tmp modules_install" will install the modules in /tmp/lib/modules .
