PREFIX="${HOME}/opt"
mkdir -p "${PREFIX}"/{bin,share,lib,src}
export PATH="${PREFIX}/bin:${PATH}"
cd "${HOME}/opt/src"
VERSION=24.3
wget "ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/emacs-${VERSION}.tar.gz";
tar zxf "emacs-${VERSION}.tar.gz"
cd "emacs-${VERSION}"
./configure --prefix=${HOME}/opt && make && make install
cd
emacs
Now one problem may be that if you're not superuser, you don't have
access to much disk space either, there may have disk quotas. Sometimes
so little that you can't even unpack emacs sources.
Also, if you're not alone installing one's own copy of emacs, the
sysadmin may become angry and kill your accounts.
Stuff like that…
