This is how I have set it up: /usr/bin = systemwide binaries /usr/lib = systemwide libraries ~/.local/bin = user binaries ~/.local/lib = user libraries I don't really like to use /usr/local/* on Linux, because it's not as portable as just /usr. I use it only in FreeBSD and OpenBSD, simply because it's the default behavior there. If you compile from source (includes AUR): ./configure --prefix="~/.local" make DESTDIR="~/.local" install If directly from the pacman repo's: pacman -S android-ndk -r ~/.local -b /var/lib/pacman The one downside of that is that it'll install for example "android-tools" under ~/.local/usr/bin rather than ~/.local/bin though, but with a bit of manual labor, you can correct that. Then in your .bashrc or .zshrc: export PATH=~/.local/bin:$PATH This way you can install multiple versions of software, and binaries in ~/.local will take preference over those in /usr, and you can always just run /usr/bin/whatever if you want to run the systemwide version instead. In the case of installing on a different system partition, you can repurpose the above configuration, and just change whatever I said about ~/.local for wherever you've mounted your other partition at.
