Hey FFS team, thank you for your work on this exceptional software.
It used to be possible to install FFS without root privilege, but with the new .run , this doesn't seem to be the case anymore (other than, I suppose, by building it myself). Do you think this might change in the near future?
Many thanks

The .run file is extractable with 7-zip. (/usr/bin/7z or /usr/bin/7za from p7-zip or p7zip-full), and inside it is a .tar.gz which appears to be the traditional file.
