+====== Getting Programs & Scripts To Run in Your Userspace ======
+It used to be much more common for users to be on the same system a la SDF, share resources, run shared and personal programs from their shell prompt, but not be Admins. Nowadays, it's much more common for people providing programs or scripts to assume everyone's an admin, and can load whatever library or do whatever admin-level install they need to.
+Here at SDF, there are two ways to get programs or libraries installed so your programs & scripts can use them
+  * The first way is to post on [[Bboard]] in the REQUESTS board. Someone may just install it for you
+  * The 2nd way is to figure out how to install it for your own use. Here are some tips for different languages/tools
+    * [[Set up your own perl module library]]
+    * [[Set up your own Ruby Gems library]]
+    * [[Set up your own python environment]]
