[SOLVED] Can i install package on home directory?

Everytime i use pacman and AUR ( i mean makepkg command) it is installed on /usr directory.

So i start wonder " can i install something on my /home/account directory? 

i want install something local (like games) on my home directory. (this is because i give small amount of storage to / directory.)

i try to find on archwiki but my keywords doesn't work.

Is there any recommended pages should i read??

Why not rearrange your partitions? Yes, you can install to places other than /usr e.g. /opt is often used for games.
Read the wiki on how PKGBUILDs work and edit the one you want to experiment with.
