make install fails with permission denied error #154

I'm trying to build Unshield on Fedora 35, and make install comes up with\

Install the project...
-- Install configuration: ""
-- Installing: /usr/local/share/man/man1/unshield.1
CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:46 (file):
  file INSTALL cannot copy file "/home/hazelnot/git/unshield/man/unshield.1"
  to "/usr/local/share/man/man1/unshield.1": Permission denied.

make: *** [Makefile:100: install] Error 1

Sudo?

That... worked

I kind of figured that if I used sudo I might break something

I feel very stupid and wish there was a way to just straight-up delete this issue now

No worries @hazelnot ! Everyone is a beginner some time!
