What is the bug?
When I try to install hcdiag from the installation instructions for Example: Ubuntu, running the command:

wget -O- https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com/gpg | gpg --dearmor > /usr/share/keyrings/hashicorp-archive-keyring.gpg && echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/hashicorp-archive-keyring.gpg] https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com jammy main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hashicorp.list

I get the following error:

What version are you using?
Trying to install hcdiag version hcdiag_0.5.0-rc1

hcdiag

When does the error occur?

1. Spin up an instance of Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS.
2. Log into the new instance of the OS.
3. From the home directory, run the following command:

wget -O- https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com/gpg | gpg --dearmor > /usr/share/keyrings/hashicorp-archive-keyring.gpg && echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/hashicorp-archive-keyring.gpg] https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com jammy main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hashicorp.list

What is the expected behavior?

Hi Mikael,

unprivileged users can't modify the Ubuntu system keyring (nor the apt sources), so you'll need to run these commands as a root user.

I'll make a PR to add a note about running as root to those instructions you linked. Thanks!

Confirmed that running command as root worked:

root@ip-172-31-30-8:~# wget -O- https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com/gpg | gpg --dearmor > /usr/share/keyrings/hashicorp-archive-keyring.gpg && echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/hashicorp-archive-keyring.gpg] https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com jammy main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hashicorp.list
