You can run Homebrew on Linux without admin privileges. Useful e.g. for shared hosting.

  Small note: You need admin privileges only once for the first install which creates a new user `linuxbrew` and everything is based around `/home/linuxbrew` prefix. The issue is on systems where getting an admin access is not possible, you cannot ‘reliably’ install to a different prefix. It is currently unsupported. Honestly, I would settle for a custom prefix if it tells me exactly what packages will break and what won’t without having to read each and every formula recipe. That’s one thing that bothered me for a while and I did not have the willpower to explore that direction without having community support.
