/usr/local/bin/Ratatosk Permission denied

Dear someone, I don't have roof permission, how to install ratatosk?

make install [ 44%] Built target bifrost_lib [100%] Built target Ratatosk Install the project... -- Install configuration: "Release" -- Installing: /usr/local/bin/Ratatosk CMake Error at src/cmake_install.cmake:52 (file): file INSTALL cannot copy file "/prj/hybrid-assembly/kang/software/ratatosk2/Ratatosk/build/src/Ratatosk" to "/usr/local/bin/Ratatosk": Permission denied. Call Stack (most recent call first): cmake_install.cmake:47 (include) make: *** [Makefile:105: install] Error 1

Did I already install it in the path /prj/hybrid-assembly/kang/software/ratatosk2/Ratatosk/build/src/Ratatosk?

Best regards, Xiongbin

Dear @kangxiongbin,

As mentioned in the README, if you do not have root permissions, you must install Ratatosk in a directory where you know you do not need root permissions:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/some/path/ ..
make
make install

where /some/path/ is a directory you own which does not require sudo permission. Once you are done with these steps, make sure you add /some/path/ to your path (export PATH=$PATH:/some/path/), otherwise your system won't be able to know where to look for the Ratatosk binary.

The path /prj/hybrid-assembly/kang/software/ratatosk2/Ratatosk/build/src/Ratatosk is where Ratatosk was compiled after make and before make install. You can just call Ratatosk from there as well.

Let me know how it goes. Guillaume
