Error when installing meteor on Ubuntu

Question

I am installing meteor on Ubuntu. Meteor --help already works. Now trying to run ./install.sh and this gives me message:

name@name-laptop:~/meteor$ ./install.sh

Can not write to /usr/local

I created /usr and /local under it but still same message.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Run this command with root privileges:

$ sudo ./install.sh

or install it in different location that /usr/local.

This error occurs because you don't have write persmissions for /usr/local directory.
