Hello,
I am having trouble to install SU2 7.05 on Ubuntu20.04 by compiling from the source code. I am trying to follow the instructions on their website. The meson build command with the additional options works well. But then as I try to build install with ninja I am facing a problem. My command: $ ./ninja -C build install ninja: Entering directory `build' [869/870] Installing files. Installing SU2_CFD/src/SU2_CFD to /usr/local/bin Installation failed due to insufficient permissions. Attempting to use polkit to gain elevated privileges... Error getting authority: Error initializing authority: Could not connect: No such file or directory FAILED: meson-install /usr/bin/python3 /home/wrik/SU2/meson.py install --no-rebuild ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed. I am no expert in Linux. Not sure why this is happening. Any help would be appreciated! |

You have to choose an installation directory with `--prefix` option when you call meson. Otherwise it tries to install it to /usr/local/bin, which requires root privileges.
