error when trying to install #12

Closed ghost closed 6 years ago

ghost commented 6 years ago

im getting this in terminal when i try to install following instructions in the readme: Makefile:5: recipe for target 'install' failed make: *** [install] Error 1

is this a problem on my end or something with the makefile?

mathialo commented 6 years ago

This seems weird, which OS are you running?

It looks like the issue happens when the script is creating the install directory.

ive tried it on both linux mint 18 and ubuntu 16.04, i get the same problem.

Are you sure you are running the make script as root? The line that fails is when the script tries to make the install directory in /usr/local, and normal users are not allowed to do that.

This is now an outdated issue, as the make script has been replaced with a proper python install script
