I need a quick help. I am a beginner so I think my problem is an easy one: Here it goes: I need to install a software application called muscle, and these are the steps from its website:
wget http://www.drive5.com/muscle/downloads3.8.31/muscle3.8.31_i86linux64.tar.gz
tar xzvf muscle3.8.31_i86linux64.tar.gz
mv muscle3.8.31_i86linux64 /usr/local/bin/muscle
chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/muscle
But it is permission denied to /usr/local/bin/
. So, I created a directory called /home/users/me/muscle
instead of /usr/local/bin/
and continued the steps. Finally, I added the directory to the path.
It did not work. Note: sudo command asks for a password which I do not have.
sudo
is used to temporarily gain elevated privileges.$PATH
?
