## Installing on a shell account

To install ClamAV on a shell account (e.g. on some shared host) you don't need to create any additional users or groups. Assuming your home directory is `/home/gary` you should build it as follows:

    	$ ./configure --prefix=/home/gary/clamav --disable-clamav
    	$ make; make install

To test your installation execute:

    	$ ~/clamav/bin/freshclam
    	$ ~/clamav/bin/clamscan ~
