Predict doesn't need to be run or installed as root for the program  
to function.  It can be installed anywhere.

The first time it runs it will go through the prompts, for the user  
running the program and create a .predict directory under that users  
home directory and then each time its run after that it will use the  
files from that directory.

If the first time you run the program it was as root or with the sudo  
command then the .predict directory will be created as owned by root  
and normal users won't be able to update it, so predict will prompt  
each time it is run..
