New installation instructions require assuming root about desk HOT 2 CLOSED

Hey, @ofsaleem. Thanks for the issue.

You (correctly) assume that I changed the instructions because curling a single file is a much simpler process than doing a full checkout of a git repository -- and doesn't require the dependency of having git installed on the target host. It is in line with the broader idea of having only a single dependency: bash.

Indeed in the literal instructions, root is required. I took it for granted that the intended audience here would be able to infer that /usr/local/bin isn't the only location a user may have on PATH, and so other (non-privileged) locations may be specified in lieu of it; my own installation has desk living in ~/bin. But because non-root PATH locations aren't standard, I felt bad specifying ~/bin or something similar.

Your good work on the Makefile still applies here, but it benefits only those who prefer a git checkout.

I'll update the Makefile to be consistent with the README, and will make a note about option for non-root installs.

If there's anything else I can do to aid getting this in AUR, lemme know. Otherwise, feel free to file PRs. :)

Closing this out -- feel free to reply with any suggestions @ofsaleem.
