Hello,
I am trying to install Suricata on Linux Mint with the following but I am getting errors when trying to complete the installation
I have UFW and SSHGuard Installed and many ports blocked.
I got to the point of downloading and extracting as this
wget https://www.openinfosecfoundation.org/download/suricata-6.0.6.tar.gz
I am getting errors when trying to access the config file
$ sudo tar -xvf suricata-6.0.6.tar.gz
$ cd suricata-6.0.6
$ ./configure --enable-nfqueue --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
$ make
$ make install-full
~/suricata-6.0.6$ ./configure --enable-nfqueue --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
./configure: line 2618: config.log: Permission denied
