🎵 Solving "Permission Denied" Error When Installing Prestissimo in Ubuntu 16.04 Server 🎵

So, you're trying to install Prestissimo on your Ubuntu 16.04 server, but you keep encountering the dreaded "Permission denied" error. 😩 Don't worry, we've got you covered! Let's dive into the common causes of this issue and learn how to fix it. 💪

The Problem: Understanding the Error Message

Here's the error message you encountered:

file_put_contents(./composer.json): failed to open stream: Permission denied

This error occurs when Composer is unable to write to the composer.json file in your home folder (/home/kramer65).

The Solution: Fixing the Permissions

To resolve this issue, we need to grant the necessary permissions to Composer so it can write to the composer.json file correctly. But remember, running Composer as root or super user is not recommended. So let's explore some alternative solutions:

Solution 1: Adjust Ownership of the Home Folder

One option is to change the ownership of your home folder (/home/kramer65) to your user account. Open the terminal and execute the following command:

sudo chown -R kramer65 /home/kramer65

This command changes the owner (chown) recursively (-R) to your user account (kramer65).

Solution 2: Grant Write Permissions to the Home Folder

Another option is to grant write permissions to your home folder. Execute the following command:

sudo chmod -R 755 /home/kramer65

This command grants read, write, and execute permissions to the owner (7), and read and execute permissions to the group and others (5).
