Read / Write permissions in /opt directory
I changed the owner of the android studio directory from root
to my user
account and it worked. Here is the command, where $USER
will change by itself to your current active user:
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /opt/android-studio
You can move the directory from /opt
to your home using comand:
sudo cp -r /opt/android-studio ~/
Or to give permissions you have to use chmod
:
sudo chmod +w /opt/android-studio/some-file
to add permissions to all dir recursive:
sudo chmod +w -R /opt/android-studio/some-file
Take a look on my answer https://askubuntu.com/a/638799/150504 that explain a little about chmod and how to use
I did set the group of /opt/android-studio (and /opt/android-sdk) to users and added write permission to the group.
In my case, the group users existed already. But as hint:
sudo addgroup users
I had to add my user to the users group:
sudo adduser $USER users
Then set the group of the directory:
sudo chown -R root:users /opt/android-studio
Because updates need to write files:
sudo chmod -R g+w /opt/android-studio
I used this instructions once, I hope i did not forget something
edit: This way, files shall not be too wide accessible, but still usable by selected users
