Research direction

Start with the installation text on the Mosh website and review the linked gist, including its comments, for approaches that still work without root access. Done means the site explains a tested Ubuntu installation path for users without superuser access.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

There is the following text at the top of https://mosh.org:

You don't need to be the superuser to install or run Mosh

However it is unclear how to install mosh on server if you don't have root rights.

Could you, please, add instructions about installing mosh without root access. I think for now it can be just for one popular distribution, for exampe ubuntu.

Something like this gist: https://gist.github.com/xiaom/8264691 (code from gist doesn't work now, but there are some useful notes in comments, I think it would be very cool if you will accumulate these notes and publish remade gist on your site).

Thanks for excellent tool!
