System settings - user management - administrator mode - select user - modify. 
Make the user part of the admin group to enable software installation.

This also enables the empowered user to do everything else, of course! Are you 
sure you want somebody else to be able to act as god on your computer? My son 
has his own computer, on which he is the administrator. He can use mine if he 
wants to, but he doesn't fool around with it.
