Just sudo it
This is exactly why I have big reservation in giving users sudo permissions. If they need sudo on UNIX or Linux for small thing like this, then they have no idea what they are doing and can easily screw the system up. Not to mention regular user should not hahe these permissions on multi-user system. If they know enough to not screw system up, they do not need almighty permissions and are able to install what they need into userspace. The last is the goal of the OP.

Nobody has sudo permissions on my systems. The most common report of a sudo attempt on my CentOS systems is 'sudo apt-get update', although I have had 'sudo passwd root' (they got a bollocking).
