What's HPC?

If you don't have root permission, do you have permission to install 
anything?

Are you comfortable with installing from source? You will need a 
C compiler. If everything works, it is easy, but if there are problems, 
it be difficult or impossible to solve them.

Would it be easier to just ask your system administrator to install it 
for you?
