Problems with installation instructions about hush HOT 9 CLOSED

It appears you do not have sudo rights on the machine you're installing on

Closing as this is not a bug or issue with code

from hush.

Hi @madbuda,
i do have sudo permissions on that machine but the command is wrong, please see https://askubuntu.com/questions/185268/permission-denied-etc-apt-sources-list. As for the apt-key command it requires root permissions but the instructions don't tell you to run it with sudo. Please update the instructions accordingly.

@madbuda, please see the image, I don't know how to explain it better.

What version of Ubuntu, sudo, what shell and version?

Hundreds of installs and this is the first someone has had a problem with the installation instructions. I've personally installed using copy/paste many times myself and wrote the instructions

The most common suggestion is to use tee:
echo 'deb https://dl.bintray.com/myhush/hush/ hush main' | sudo tee --append /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hush.list

Pretend there is no issue, ignore the person trying to help, and just silently correct the problem 01a2889#diff-7d442b7eb49f5fc377f51e74b291cfc1... Way to go @madbuda!

Oh, by the way, there is still no sudo before apt-key command. But go ahead and pretend this is not a problem :D
