## Installing on shell account

To install ClamAV locally on an unprivileged shell account you need not create any additional users or groups. Assuming your home directory is `/home/gary` you should build it as follows:

    	$ ./configure --prefix=/home/gary/clamav --disable-clamav
    	$ make; make install

To test your installation execute:

    	$ ~/clamav/bin/freshclam
    	$ ~/clamav/bin/clamscan ~

The `--disable-clamav` switch disables the check for existence of the clamav user and group but `clamscan` would still require an unprivileged account to work in a superuser mode.
