Installation error

Question

Hi,

I am a beginner in this and I am experiencing an error with installation.

When type in the command "mv multichaind multichain-cli multichain-util /usr/local/bin"

I get errors saying,

mv: cannot move ‘multichaind’ to ‘/usr/local/bin/multichaind’: Permission denied
mv: cannot move ‘multichain-cli’ to ‘/usr/local/bin/multichain-cli’: Permission denied
mv: cannot move ‘multichain-util’ to ‘/usr/local/bin/multichain-util’: Permission denied

What has gone wrong? I am running this on Ubuntu 64-bit.

You need to run su first to give yourself root privileges to install the binaries in these directories.
