Permissions problem within plugin-manager installr script #14

Hi I received the following permissions error when trying to use the self installer script from within FreeCAD

/usr/lib/freecad//Mod/plugins/ Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/david/.FreeCAD/pluginManager_installer.py", line 42, in st1() File "/home/david/.FreeCAD/pluginManager_installer.py", line 34, in st1 os.makedirs(directory) File "/usr/bin/../lib/python2.7/os.py", line 157, in makedirs mkdir(name, mode) <type 'exceptions.OSError'>: (13, 'Permission denied', '/usr/lib/freecad//Mod/plugins/')

OS: Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela Word size of OS: 64-bit Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit Version: 0.16.6131 (Git) Build type: None Branch: master Hash: ed037c138ed010d09c8c554c13e06e05518f1bf5 Python version: 2.7.6 Qt version: 4.8.6 Coin version: 4.0.0a OCC version: 6.8.0.oce-0.17

Iam logged in as a normal user not root. It appears that os.py is not able to request su permissions when needed.

Installed as per manual installation instructions - no problems. Appears in Menu->View->Panels rather than in Views Cheers David

The same here, but when I install it manually, no plugins available to download at all. Actually I have empty table. Linux Mint 17.3
