Error: you do not have permission to write to the directory /usr/local/bin (all 6)

8:55am Thu 14th Mar, Christopher M.

The solution to this is *not* to do everything as root (the administrator), and not to install cnet as root, as you may be locked out from using it. But some of the suggestions, above, are correct - thank you. From the shell/terminal, either on macOS or Linux:

shell>  sudo sh
(your password)
$> mkdir -p -m 755 /usr/local/bin/ /usr/local/lib
$> chown <your-account-name> /usr/local/bin/ /usr/local/lib
$> exit

(you're now back in your account)
shell> ./install-cnet.sh
