Sometimes, user doesn't have a root access so cannot install firejail at system level, but still wants to execute untrusted software safely. So I think it's good to provide easier way to install firejail, ideally without root permission and custom compilation.

@reinerh commented on GitHub (Feb 9, 2017):

As user you can't install setuid-root binaries. This means several firejail features would not be working.
Also firejail expects some files in a system wide library directory.
