Installation and sudo

892 Views

Hi,

I have just tried to install the Movidius SDK and the installation process is far from what I was expecting : the "make install" script is full of "sudo" without any warning. As I have issued a sudo command a few minutes before installing the SDK, the script just became root without asking me anything.

I feel that requiring sudo for installing a SDK is very unfortunate. I would believe that asking the user to create a "/opt/movidius" folder with write permission would be way enough. As a consequence, I'll wait until you provide a better installation process that does not require to be root before I start playing with the Movidius SDK.

Best regards,

Francois
