Install on Redhat without root?

Boscia, | Last updated: Feb 26, 2022 12:42AM UTC

Hello! I'm trying to use the .sh installer and it fails saying I need to run it as root. While I do have root, the first rule of being a sys admin is to not blindly run software as root that you have no idea what it is doing. Plus, we have configuration change management to go through for any changes that would require root on a system. I reached out to Burp support and they said you can run the installer without root but it just immediately exists with saying you must run as root, so I'm at a loss. Has anyone gotten this to run on Redhat without running the installer as root?
