Ok, first of all you wrote that I will have problem installing EDEX as > root, but the link http://unidata.github.io/awips2/install/install-edex/ > states that all commands should be run as root, so that´s confusing.

When I try to run > it without sudo I have some issues about permission. Hi Alexandre, When installing EDEX and awips2-ldm with the installEDEX.sh script all permissions are taken care of. I trust that the awips2-ldm is installed correctly, but you can check by looking in /awips2/ldm/bin/ and you should see all but 2 files owned by user 'awips' with those two owned by 'root'. Anyways, the awips2-ldm works just like a regular LDM install, you will only need to change the upstream LDM host from idd.unidata.ucar.edu to the local machine you have access to.
