A problem with installing [i am a newbie]

[consler]

I followed the installation instructions but after I run
cmake --install .
I get:
CMake Error at lib/cmake_install.cmake:65 (file): file INSTALL cannot copy file "/home/consler/i-use-arch-btw/build/lib/libiuab.so.0.1.0" to "/usr/local/lib/libiuab.so.0.1.0": Permission denied. Call Stack (most recent call first): cmake_install.cmake:47 (include)
What do I do

In the README, the cmake --install . command is prefixed by a # and not a $. This is a convention to indicate that a command should be run as root.

By default, CMake will install the project in /usr/local, which only root can write to, usually.
