Problems with installation instructions

[static-void-main]

Describe the issue

Running "sudo echo 'deb https://dl.bintray.com/myhush/hush/ hush main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list" errors with "permission denied: /etc/apt/sources.list". Using "echo 'deb https://dl.bintray.com/myhush/hush/ hush main' | sudo tee --append /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hush.list" works as expected.

Also "apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 379CE192D401AB61" should be executed with sudo otherwise it fails to install the key.

Can you reliably reproduce the issue?

Yes

If so, please list the steps to reproduce below:

1. Follow the installation instructions
2. Observe the errors

Expected behaviour

The repository should be added to sources and the key should install correctly.

It appears you do not have sudo rights on the machine you're installing on

Closing as this is not a bug or issue with code

Hi @madbuda, i do have sudo permissions on that machine but the command is wrong, please see https://askubuntu.com/questions/185268/permission-denied-etc-apt-sources-list. As for the apt-key command it requires root permissions but the instructions don't tell you to run it with sudo. Please update the instructions accordingly.

@madbuda, please see the image, I don't know how to explain it better.

What version of Ubuntu, sudo, what shell and version?

Hundreds of installs and this is the first someone has had a problem with the installation instructions. I've personally installed using copy/paste many times myself and wrote the instructions

The most common suggestion is to use tee: echo 'deb https://dl.bintray.com/myhush/hush/ hush main' | sudo tee --append /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hush.list

Pretend there is no issue, ignore the person trying to help, and just silently correct the problem https://github.com/MyHush/hush/commit/01a2889f6b7b628b23c0ce9b5f949d00b7de6edb#diff-7d442b7eb49f5fc377f51e74b291cfc1... Way to go @madbuda!

[static-void-main]

Oh, by the way, there is still no sudo before apt-key command. But go ahead and pretend this is not a problem :D
