I am trying to install YouCompleteMe, the installation guide says I need "python-dev"
sudo apt-get install python-dev
My question is how do I install this with out root access on Debian.
How can I check if I have python-dev?

Install packages without sudo Now, the pip command can be used without sudo and the Python packages can be installed locally.
to check the installation status, you can use
dpkg-query -l python-dev
the first row will give you the installation status (ii means (currently) installed and (to-be) installed)
you cannot install a package without root-access (that's the point of root-access: having the priviliges to modify the system components).
However, you can download the .deb file and extract it locally:
wget http://debian.mirror.ac.za/debian/pool/main/p/python-defaults/python-dev_2.7.9-1_amd64.deb
dpkg -x python-dev_2.7.9-1_amd64.deb .
(this will download python-dev and extract it into your current directory)
