Could you elaborate on a first attempt? I am not sure to understand
which hint you suggest.

The manual says: "It should be run as the root user." So to install on
my Debian, I simply log as root. :-)
If you speak about adding a hint when using the command sudo, then is
it really reliable on all the foreign distributions? Because the
command sudo is not always configured the same way, as you
experimented with Debian vs Trisquel.


All the best,
simon
