Emacs runs fine from > wherever you've compiled it. I use --prefix arg in configure to install into $HOME/.local. I keep two worktrees - one for emacs-27 and one for master. To use one, I just do a =E2=80=98make install=E2=80=99 inside that worktree. I keep both the builds= ready so install doesn=E2=80=99t take much time. Uninstall =3D> just ignore $HOME/.local. :-)
