Building requires sudo

When trying to Pkg.build("ZMQ") on a shared linux server the process crashed because it was trying to run sudo yum install czmq

julia> Pkg.build("ZMQ")
INFO: Building ZMQ
Installing dependency czmq via `sudo yum install czmq`:
=====================================[ ERROR: ZMQ ]=====================================

LoadError: could not spawn `sudo yum install czmq`: no such file or directory (ENOENT)
while loading ~/.julia/v0.5/ZMQ/deps/build.jl, in expression starting on line 35

Requiring root access to use this seems like a bad idea.

For anyone else with this issue just comment out the line provides(Yum, "czmq", zmq, os = :Linux) in ~/.julia/v0.5/ZMQ/deps/build.jl which will force it to download and build from source and not try to use yum.

Thanks. I'm not in my cluster's sudoers so I was comping here for this very issue.

Also here for this same issue. Fedora 25. except my load error reads

LoadError: failed process: Process(sudo yum install czmq, ProcessExited(1)) [1]
while loading /home/maxwen/.julia/v0.6/ZMQ/deps/build.jl, in expression starting on line 35

UPDATE: btw I forgot to add that this comment in the OP helped me
