But if you work on your own computer, a possibility is to allow the instalation directory (generally <code>/usr/local/share</code>) a write access from your account (using <code>chown, chgrp</code> or <code>chmod</code> with <code>sudo</code>), and then, you will not have to use <code>sudo</code> any more for compiling a language pair. |

If you're working on language data, sudo is pretty much only for running package managers like apt (or port or dnf) and for running package setup scripts like https://apertium.projectjj.com/apt/install-nightly.sh
In general, don't use sudo (and don't run as the root user) when building/compiling things
The only exception is sudo make install, but when working on language data you should never have to do this.
