hi, i am very new to ubuntu and code in general. i have been installing openhantek. i have been following the install instructions. when i type the make install command i get this error response.

cail@AkHaruCailness:/Downloads/openhantek$ make install
install -m 755 -p "bin/openhantek" "/usr/local/bin/openhantek"
install: cannot create regular file '/usr/local/bin/openhantek': Permission denied

You don't need to install the application, you can just run the openhantek binding. If you want to install it, use sudo make install for administrative rights.
