I need to test a new version of Geany but already have the repo version installed on all my systems. In order not to foul up my current installation, what is the suggested procedure for installing and testing this new version? I tried installing in a docker container which of course went fine but could not run it from there. Suggestions appreciated, thank you.
A virtual machine running CentOS with the same environment and packages installed should do the trick.

If it can be used, what changes would I need to make to be able to run geany from a docker?
