Error

It is recommended to run it as a normal user as it doesn’t need further permissions.

Do not run the installer as root, this is discouraged.

Note

If the installer doesn’t work for you, try installing manually.

Installing a specific version

If you don’t want to run the latest version, you may be able to run an older version by giving the -v option to the installer.
