Installing on a shell account

To install ClamAV on a shell account (e.g. on some shared host) 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 testing for the existence of the clamav user and group but clamscan would still require an unprivileged account to work in a superuser mode.
