I'm the server's admin, and only user. To my mind, it matters little which user installs it. If there were other users, however, I would be even more inclined to install as root so that they, too, could use zef. Any root/sudo user should be able to use it, in my opinion. It has been my experience, though, that when installing applications, the root user generally succeeds better as it will encounter fewer permissions-related issues.

Nevertheless, being willing to attempt your suggestion, I received the below results...

Cloning into 'zef'... remote: Enumerating objects: 11711, done. remote: Counting objects: 100% (1112/1112), done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (536/536), done. remote: Total 11711 (delta 670), reused 946 (delta 558), pack-reused 1 +0599 Receiving objects: 100% (11711/11711), 2.38 MiB | 10.90 MiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (7195/7195), done. failed to create directory: /tmp/.zef/1703756967.189511/1703756975.189 +511.3413.866087216334
Any ideas?

(NOTE: I've edited my original post to add a link showing that "zef" was deliberately removed from Ubuntu's 22.04 repository. That's why all this manual installation is necessary...and complicated. I'm not sure if Raku's developers dropped the ball, owing to name-changes from Perl6, or if Ubuntu's developers were doing something nefarious, but it is what it is.)

Blessings,
