Hi,
I am unable to install following your instructions. First off, I am not able to sudo mkdir /opt/franz, apparently I do not have permissions.
I have tried creating the new directory using the visual file explorer, and also I have tried assigning broader permissions but without success.
Any advice?
Please consider me a complete beginner.
Thank you,
Alexandra
