How can I give the command ‘make install’ sufficient permissions to run the following successfully?
[~/tig-0.14.1]# make install mkdir -p /usr/local/bin && \ for prog in tig; do \ install -p -m 0755 '$prog' '/usr/local/bin'; \ done mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local': Permission denied make: *** [install] Error 1 I run ./configure and make successfully before the problem.
Either run
make installas root, or configure Tig in a directory you have write access to. (Usually with--prefix=<path>to the configure command)
