I don't have a whole lot of experience yet working for companies, and I'm trying to plan ahead for what my tool flow might be like when I do and what the approval process might be like for installing tools.
I'm sure the exact procedure varies from place to place, but let's say for example that the work computer is Linux and I want to build & run the latest emacs on it. But to do that I first need to install libsXYZ.deb/rpm. Do I need approval first to install emacs, as well as for each lib that is installed (even if I can install them without using sudo)?
Do I need approval for every proceeding emacs minor mode, Linux lib, Python package, etc. that are installed? I currently tend to install many open source tools and libs to aid me and that would seem like a hassle getting approval for each one. That also seems like it would slow down debugging what packages are missing when resolving Linux dependency issues etc.
