The documentation currently encourages users to essentially do sudo make install:

aste/docs/README.md

Lines 80 to 86 in bdc3fbb

    
           In order to install ASTE and the associated tools system-wide, execute 
        
           ```bash 
        
           make install 
        
           ``` 
        
           which might require root permission.

In the past, this has led to all kinds of confusions with users that manually installed preCICE in their system directories.

Suggestions:

Remove this hint
Add instructions on how to use from the build directory, or add the build directory to PATH
Add support to CMake for generating Debian packages, ask users to prepare and use these
