Justification: original comment said the following
"TODO: Add other platforms. Remove sudo requirement, i.e. add USER mode."
For the other platforms part, installing is included on unix-like
systems, so for example Windows doesn't have a path where to install
libraries.
Removing the requirement for sudo is also quite contradictory since
we're writing files to directories which require root. Not sure what the
original commiter meant by USER mode.
