[gpu] install lightgpu without root permission

[hfl112]

Hi lightgbm team,
I've been looking into the details of installing gpu version: https://lightgbm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/GPU-Tutorial.html#gpu-setup
it looks like it needs the sudo permission. is there any solutions for that, can I install it locally?

System: linux centos 7
GPU: V100 /T5 on HPC

Thanks!

Thanks for using LightGBM.

What component of LightGBM are you trying to install? e.g. the Python package, R package, CLI?

If you are following the instructions at that doc, have you tried simply removing sudo from the commands running them?

Hi I am trying to install Python package.
I didn't have apt-get in my system. So I was wondering is there any other way to install it?

Thanks
