You're encountering permission problems while trying to install necessary libraries for Arma 3 on your exile server. The command you're running uses `sudo`, which requires elevated privileges, but there are a few reasons why it might not work as expected.

First, ensure that you're using the correct user account for the installation. Since you mentioned "matt" is the highest-level user, it's possible that the installation scripts are expecting a different user context. Try running the commands as a different user, such as `sudo -u appuser` or `sudo -u root`, depending on where the installation is supposed to happen.

Also, verify that your system has the correct environment variables set up for sudo access. Sometimes, misconfigurations in `/etc/sudoers` or `/etc/passwd` can block commands from running properly. You might need to adjust the sudoers file or check for any restrictions.

If you're still having trouble, consider checking the exact error messages you're seeing—especially any permission denial or user not found warnings. This will help pinpoint the exact cause and guide you toward a solution.

When examining my words, you'll notice some are highlighted. This happens because the text is connected to an image showing input and output.

I haven't encountered these mistakes before, mostly since I don't experience them on Ubuntu. What operating system are you using?

Have you entered root before using the sudo command? If not, run sudo -i with your personal password then attempt the command.

With apt-get you'll find these files accessible to everyone, regardless of who installed them.

What architecture are you using? 64-bit or 32-bit?

I added the packages as root, but I'm facing the same access problem when trying to create a folder. It seems steamCMD is installed on another user, and when I run it, it doesn't show up.
