No it does not have root, and it is very important that we not install anything at the system level since we need to maintain version isolation. We should always be able to inject things into the environment so that Python/Perl/R look in the right place.
So is there any guidance on how that is best done?
Python has various options including virtual env, but I doubt we can make any assumptions about the host system's python - even which version exactly. Does that mean installing Python modules locally and then manipulating the PYTHONPATH is the best plan?
Thanks,
