I'm trying to install Open VPN using the official instructions available here:

https://community.openvpn.net/openvp.../OpenVPN3Linux

However, I'm failing at this step:

curl -fsSL https://swupdate.openvpn.net/repos/openvpn-repo-pkg-key.pub | gpg --dearmor > /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/openvpn-repo-pkg-keyring.gpg

The terminal prompts:

bash: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openvpn3.list: Permission denied

What do I do? Thanks!

It should be as follows:

curl -fsSL https://swupdate.openvpn.net/repos/openvpn-repo-pkg-key.pub | gpg --dearmor > | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/openvpn-repo-pkg-keyring.gpg

The sudo tee part takes care of permissions.

The Open VPN instructions work if you are logged in as root. i.e. first do

sudo -i

This means you do not need to solve the permission problem line by line. See this answer How to solve "permission denied" when using sudo with redirection in Bash?
