Hi there -- the error you received is related to your user's ability to write to the /usr/local/bin directory. Generally only the root user is able to do that. I see in the instructions on the readme, the command should probably include sudo at the beginning. So I'll revise this.

Glad to see you got it working for you, though -- cargo install shellcaster will install by default to ~/.cargo/bin, which is owned by your current user. The only gotcha is that you have to ensure that directory shows up in your $PATH, which some users may not know. Honestly, the better option on Linux is probably to install to ~/.local/bin, which is likely already in your $PATH and also doesn't require root permissions. I'll rewrite the instructions in the readme to reflect these issues. Thanks for flagging this!
