And can it be installed or built by and for a single user without sudo privileges?
When I download the standalone linux version from the Download page at
zedapp.org, unpack it, and try to run ./zed, it simply exits with no message and without doing anything apparent.
PS. Building on linux is going to be a bit complicated, because not only don't I have sudo, the linux systems are behind a firewall and can't access the internet. Still trying to figure out (a) whether I can cross-compile the linux version on Mac OS X, or (b) what I need to manually download and rsync to linux so I can build it there, but those deserve a separate thread once I've gotten stuck and know what questions to ask.
