<div>Minor follow-up, it appears yumdownloader has a "--resolve" option, which will additionally download all dependencies. I would recommend using this flag to get mosh in addition to all of its currently not installed dependencies.</div>

<div><font face="'Times New Roman'" size="3">I am the maintainer of the Fedora mosh packages. mosh is currently available for Fedora 15 and newer. The recommended way of installing mosh is "yum install mosh", but as you pointed out, this requires root privileges.
However, since the binaries do not require root privileges, the following will install them into your home directory:</font></div>
<div><font face="'Times New Roman'" size="3">$ mkdir extractedRPMS</font></div>
<div><font face="'Times New Roman'" size="3">$ cd </font><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:medium">extractedRPMS</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:medium">$ yumdownloader mosh</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:medium">$ rpm2cpio mosh*.rpm | cpio -id</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:medium"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:medium">This will extract the mosh RPM into the folder "extractedRPMS", producing a full tree. The mosh binaries will be in extractedRPMs/usr/bin/. Provided that you have all of the necessary libraries
installed on the server, the binaries will "just work" and you can invoke mosh with the --server=FULL/PATH/TO/mosh-sever to connect. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:medium"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:medium">If you are missing libraries (such as libprotobuf, or libutempter) you can repeat the above procedure to download and extract those packages. However, if you do so, you will need to start mosh-server
with an LD_LIBRARY_PATH that includes the newly-extracted libraries. </span></div>

<div>Hello,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So I came across Mosh today and it looks amazing, though I'm having a bit of trouble getting it working. I have the .dmg installed on my Mac, and I want to use it on the cluster machines in my research lab. Is it possible to get Mosh installed on the servers
without root access and without compiling from source? It says on the website "<span style="line-height:18px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-size:13px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">The server binary
can even be installed in the user's home directory." This is most likely due to my incompetence with *nix systems, but is there an alternative way of doing that without having root access and compiling from source? The OS on the servers is Fedora I believe.</span></div>
