Hey jcdammeyer,
Both are fine and depend on where you want to deploy your install
debian@beaglebone:~/Downloads$ ./fcpupdeluxe
Most of the installs I make are inside my home folder, so I usually do not need
sudo to install those.
debian@beaglebone:~/Downloads$ sudo ./fpcupdeluxe
If you're planning on installing it on
/usr or
/lib or even
/opt this would be necessary.
The problem is that
fpcupdeluxe install everything under one single folder and that is not compliant with having binaries under
/usr/bin and the rest somewhere else under
/usr/lib or the likes.
The main purpose of
fpcupdeluxe is to have many installs side by side and for that matter it installs everything in one single folder, contrary to the Posix way of spreading stuff under it's designated folders.
So while it doesn't really matter if you use
sudo or not, it's not really necessary since you most probably will install it under your home folder.
Hope this clears it out.
Cheers,
Gus
