For this scenario, installing the RPM packages is not supported.
Non-root installation is designed for customers who would like to install and run ABBYY FineReader Engine without root privileges. Take into account that non-root installation has several limitations:
  1. You should specify a path to a folder with licensing data during installation. A user who installs and uses ABBYY FineReader Engine should have full access permissions on it.
  2. The Licensing Service must be run manually each time you start the operating system (before using ABBYY FineReader Engine). You may run it as a daemon or an application.
  3. Just one Licensing Service instance should be launched on the system. If ABBYY FineReader Engine was installed by several non-root users, it is enough to run the Licensing Service by only one non-root user.
  4. Make sure a user who installs and uses ABBYY FineReader Engine has full access permissions on FREngineDataFolder. Use the InitializeEngine function to change the folder to one that you can grant read and write permissions.
  5. To uninstall ABBYY FineReader Engine, first, stop the Licensing Service and then delete all ABBYY FineReader Engine files manually.
