Installing Apache / PHP without being 'root'

[Cees]

Hey all, first post here.

For school I've got to install a webserver with Apache, PHP, Mysql, Perl, PostgreSql and stuff like that. My teacher agrees that I can work on the server itself, but doesn't allow me to work as root.

So I have to figure out how I can install everyting without being root. Do you know if this is possible, and if it is, what rights I need to do this?

Thanks in advance.
