Installation error

I am trying to install hts_engine_API for Japanese synthesis. I ran command: ./waf configure && ./waf build install Configure happens without any problem. But while installing this occurs:

Build failed Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/yasin/new_espnet/espnet-20200331T011351Z-001/espnet/tools/hts_engine_API/src/.waf3-2.0.19-35d7801c914ed8b2e0239b010d034f89/waflib/Build.py", line 596, in do_install self.copy_fun(src,tgt) File "/home/yasin/new_espnet/espnet-20200331T011351Z-001/espnet/tools/hts_engine_API/src/.waf3-2.0.19-35d7801c914ed8b2e0239b010d034f89/waflib/Build.py", line 539, in copy_fun shutil.copy2(src,tgt) File "/home/yasin/espnet/tools/venv/lib/python3.7/shutil.py", line 263, in copy2 copyfile(src, dst, follow_symlinks=follow_symlinks) File "/home/yasin/espnet/tools/venv/lib/python3.7/shutil.py", line 121, in copyfile with open(dst, 'wb') as fdst: PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/include/HTS_hidden.h'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Why is this happening?

Solved it with adding sudo before ./waf.
