I followed installation manual on Ubuntu 15.10 and met an issue:

 libusb_open failed: LIBUSB_ERROR_ACCESS

No error was with sudo. The solution is to add user to plugdev group.

 sudo usermod -aG plugdev $USER

Than relogin or restart. FIXED.

yes, thank you for the info, it looks like each different Linux version has its own way of dealing with usb access rights :-(

I'll update the documentation.

the explanation with plugdev was already present in the Troubleshooting section at the end of the page. to avoid further confusion, I moved it to the GNU/Linux section.
