Hi, I guess if you're installing as non-root then you probably just want=20 something to experiment with a bit? The easiest thing may be to compile from source: http://ceph.com/docs/next/install/build-ceph/ =2E..and then create a temporary "vstart" cluster: http://ceph.com/docs/next/dev/quick_guide/ This is not at all suitable for putting any real data in, but will let=20 you play around a bit with the ceph command line etc. If you need a=20 more realistic system I would suggest asking your administrator for a=20 way to create virtual machines, so that you can have root in the virtua= l=20 machines and install packages there.
