Tip of the Week

If you get errors when running make install it’s probably because you don’t have permission to copy files to /usr/local/bin, in that case do a sudo make install and you should be good.

Tip of the Week

Run a second command only if first command succeeds. You can string two commands together using ‘&&’, and the second command will run only if the first command completes successfully. For example, I like to run “sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade”. If the update fails, the entire command exits and the upgrade does not run. This way, I can go fix the reason for the update failing, prior to running the upgrade.
