[sleuthkit-users] newbie in linux need help installing TSK and Autopsy

[Irene S. <sno...@ya...>]

Hi all,

I am current a computer forensics student, and this is my first year. I have heard a lot of the TSK tool and was trying to install it on my PC (with Linux variant Ubuntu).

Everything seems fine, except I spotted this error when I try to make install the TSK toolkit:



make[3]: Entering directory `/home/irene/sleuthkit-3.0.0/tsk3'
/bin/bash ../config/mkinstalldirs /usr/local/lib
/bin/bash ../libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c  libtsk3.la /usr/local/lib/libtsk3.la
/usr/bin/install -c .libs/libtsk3.so.3.1.2 /usr/local/lib/libtsk3.so.3.1.2
/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/lib/libtsk3.so.3.1.2': Permission denied
make[3]: *** [install-libLTLIBRARIES] Error 1

make[2]: *** [install-am] Error 2

make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/irene/sleuthkit-3.0.0/tsk3'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1


I tried to ignore this and try installing Autopsy which also lives in /irene directory, I keep on getting this error:

Searching for Sleuth Kit Installation.
Sleuth Kit tools were not found in the standard install locations.
If you have not installed them, do so now and configure autopsy again.
If you have installed them in a non-standard location, then
  enter the "bin" directory now:
/usr/local/bin
TSK tools were not found or incomplete (try again):
/home/irene/sleuthkit-3.0.0
TSK tools were not found or incomplete (try again):
`/home/irene/sleuthkit-3.0.0
TSK tools were not found or incomplete (try again):
`/home/irene/sleuthkit-3.0.0/tsk3


I would really appreciate it if you can provide me some direction in going further.

Thanks very much in advance.

Best regards,
Irene
