Description

We are attempting to run the vitis_setup.sh script in a managed environment which already has all of the pre-reqs (Vivado, Vitis, python, etc) installed and available, but we don't have root access to the host.

Is there an alternative way to source this vitis_setup.sh script without the requirement for root level access?

Research direction

Start by inspecting vitis_setup.sh and identify which step requires root access, then compare that requirement with the managed environment described in the issue. Determine whether the existing Vivado, Vitis, and Python installations can be sourced without privileged operations; done means documenting or supporting a non-root setup path, with the script working in that environment.
