You can install Mac OS X applications in your home or the Applications folder.According to Dr. Smoke in, Troubleshooting Mac OS X, Tiger Edition:
If automatic login is turned off, log in as an administrator to install software in the Applications folder and the Library folder on your Mac OS X disk.
To make sure an application works properly, install it following the instructions provided with the software.
"Applications should be installed in one of the following two folders, the choice depending on whom should have access to the application:;~)
Macintosh HD>Applications folder. Applications installed here are available to all users on you Mac. To install applications here, you must either use an Admin Account or know an Admin user's password.
Home>Applications folder. Applications installed here are only available to the user who installed them in their own account."
I could have said "should" instead of "must"
