You can recompile package from source to support installation into `~/.local` (see `man 7 file-hierarchy`), but burden to support this will be on you, including updates, protection from malware and viruses, firewalling, and so on.

For example, rust's cargo can compile and install applications into `~/.local`, but it's pain to keep them up to date, so I prefer to use same tools from my OS (Fedora) distribution repo instead.
