How to install Git when you're not an admin?

i have been trying to install git for the last couple of days and i'm getting loads of errors. I use the debian OS. I am not the admin of my system so i can't use the git package to install it(it's a school computer so i can't mess with it). I have tried to make it manually from the source get on GitHub but i get the same error.

@Prompt/local/bin/git-master$ make
CC credential-store.o
In file included from cache.h:4:0,
from credential-store.c:1:
git-compat-util.h:214:25: fatal error: openssl/ssl.h:Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
                     ^
compilation terminated.
Makefile:1830: recipe for target 'credential-store.o' failed
make: *** [credential-store.o] Error 1

I have tried to install manually the missing shared library but i don't manage to get them install.

Anyone as an idea ?

Thank you for reading.

But you can ask your friendly sysadmin to install it for you.

openssl/ssl.h:Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type

This error means that libssl-dev package is not installed either. You'll need to gather all the dependencies of git before you can build it from source.
