Mathematica 10 on ubuntu 16.04
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I am trying to install Mathematica 10 on Ubuntu 16.04. In my folder I had a .sh file, so I used chmod +x and ran it.
During the installation it asks to choose a folder for the installation, but whaterver I type it says:
Error: Cannot create directory /usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/10.0.
You may need to be logged in as root to continue with this
installation.
What do I do?
software-installation permissions

Have you used the sudo command for running the installation file *.sh, e.g. "sudo bash installer.sh"?

Concur. Adding sudo will solve the problem. Enter your password when requested, there will be no feedback, not even spaces, then press enter.
