It’s a typo, it should read “I’m not root”. I’m logged in as “Live CD User”. I’m using Cinnamon and I’m using the GUI to copy it from the folder where it is compiled to /srv/www/cgi-bin

In cgi-bin folder, the paste option is unavailable.

I think you lack a lot of basic Unix/Linux knowledge.

Try to understand the basics about users, ownership of processes and ownership snd permissions of files.

Don’t you think that it would be rather dangerous when a user (just one of the many users that are (or can be) on your system) would be able to change things (in this case add a program) to the data of the HTTP server that apparently is also running on your system?
The web-server environment has his it’s own user and users are protected against other users destryoing their things.

You can install most anything from the repos. Check out Yast-Software Maintenance

And USB sticks ae relatively slow compared with HD or SSD

@hcvv

YaST > Software > Software Management, the from the View menu > Patterns. Scroll down to Development and check your choice. You will have then combinations of C, make, etc. in one install.

Thanks for this, it worked.

That’s why I’m not doing this on my main Linux system, that’s why I asked if it’ll be possible to install onto thumb drive and practising it on openSUSE installed to thumb drive, after I’m done with the book, I’ll just format the thumb drive and flash it with a Live OpenSUSE image again.

It is OK you do this on a test system. always saver.

In any case, restart your last question about permissions and ownership in a new thread. It does not belong here.
