This is kind of default configuration (the install prefix is $HOME/, and everthing gets installed into ~/bin, ~/share, etc). But if you don't have some of the libraries (libcurl for http, eventually openssl and iconv) you can always provide them locally and set the appropriate compile and linking flags in config.mak (but see the Makefile for the variables to set).
