rm error when installing Pow: “Permission denied”

Question

I wanted to install Pow. Running curl get.pow.cx | sh in my home directory yields :

*** Installing Pow 0.3.2...
rm: Current: Permission denied

Adding sudo in front didn't change anything.

Hope this is not a newbie question, and relevant to other people.

Answer 1

It would appear that the shell script you are downloading with curl get.pow.cx is trying to remove a directory/link named Current, but lacks sufficient privileges or the directory/link does not exist. You may need to perform the operation from within the user's home directory on your machine. The program will take care of putting the files in the relevant directories (at least it should).
