<p>You should install it somewhere, even if it's just somewhere under the build directory. Personally I use <code>/opt/geany</code> for random testing builds of Geany, but somewhere under <code>$HOME</code> is probably a better idea. Just use the <code>--prefix</code> argument for <code>configure</code> script like <code>./configure --prefix=$HOME/test-builds/geany</code> or whatevr.</p>
