Login as root or use sudo whould be my guess.

Log in as root? No.

Sudo, if necessary:

sudo ./install.sh

someguyouknow's advice is best, though, as you will get an updated Opera every six months if you use the repositories' version.

You shouldn't need to do anything if you only need to have Opera installed for the "cm" user.

If it's just about the "System wide configuration files" not being installed into /etc, that shouldn't be a problem.
On Slackware I always installed Opera into ~/bin/opera-X.XX too and left it at that.

If you're having problems starting Opera, could it be because the ~/bin directory isn't in your path?
If so, you could simply add a shortcut to the opera wrapper script on the Desktop (or whereever) yourself.

are you installing from source?

Opera has a download specific for Ubuntu Dapper Drake. Just download the .deb file and install it that way.
