I am the owner and sole user of my desktop computer. I need to create a NEW directory in a specific folder called /opt. In MS Windows, we (users) are asked beforehand where a software is to be installed. Here with Ubuntu, I installed wps office6 (from .deb) and after struggling, I found out that this program was installed on : Other Locations > Computer > /opt . Now I need to create a folder to install the French spell check dictionary in the path: Other Locations > Computer > opt /office6/dicts/spellcheck. However .....! I do not have permission to create a directory in / opt and I get the message: "You are not the owner, so you cannot change these permissions".
Questions:
How do I change the permission PERMANENTLY for my entire « Computer » or at least for /opt and / media folders ?
How can I control and select or be asked where a program is to be installed before it gets installed on Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS ?
Thanks in advance for prompt clear answers ;-)
NOTE : the command « gsku nautilus » is NOT working.
