I tried to install fish without root permission. My OS is Mac OS. And, fish version is FISH_SHELL_VERSION=3.0.2.
But, I got something wrong when compiling.
I could compile after changing as following.

# extract files, configure, and compile
tar xvzf fish-${FISH_SHELL_VERSION}.tar.gz
cd fish-${FISH_SHELL_VERSION}
./configure --prefix=$HOME/local --disable-shared
mkdir build; cd build #please insert these two lines
cmake .. -DWITH_GETTEXT=OFF #need this option if using macos
make  
make install

I read this issue. Thanks.

The URL needs to be updated a la https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/releases/download/3.0.1/fish-3.0.1.tar.gz
I.e. replace line 10 with

FISH_SHELL_VERSION=3.0.1

and line 17 with
wget http://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/releases/download/${FISH_SHELL_VERSION}/fish-${FISH_SHELL_VERSION}.tar.gz
