  You can install brew locally: https://stackoverflow.com/a/35867178 https://stackoverflow.com/a/35867178 It's not supported officially (ie. if you have issues with a package you're on your own), but it works great. I've used Homebrew like this for a few years.

  Aside from what the sibling comment said about the "local" install, if you don't want them to run sudo for you, I'd bet $5 that so long as the directories end up with the permissions necessary, you could (effectively) `alias sudo='env'; brew install` and it'd be fine. I do not have `NOPASSWD` on sudo and I can attest that with all my years of Homebrew and Linuxbrew, it has never once tried to run sudo "under the covers"

  As do apt, pacman, a multi-user nix install... isn't that pretty standard for a system-wide package manager?
