[Automotive] Getting started with automotive and qt

[Aras Balali Moghaddam]

I am developing on Ubuntu. I got through a number of build dependency
errors by following your suggestion and installing qt dev related packages.
I have not tried building the whole qt yet, but one of these days I am sure
I will.

Should I follow [these instructions]
<https://doc.qt.io/QtApplicationManager/installation.html>for building the
application mmanager? Currently I am getting this error when I run the
build command (*sudo* qmake && make && make install):

make[2]: Entering directory
'/home/aras/Projects/qtapplicationmanager/src/manager'
install -m 755 -p ../../bin/appman /usr/local/bin/appman
install: cannot remove '/usr/local/bin/appman': Permission denied

make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/aras/Projects/qtapplicationmanager/src'
Makefile:66: recipe for target 'sub-src-install_subtargets-ordered' failed
make: *** [sub-src-install_subtargets-ordered] Error 2

Any ideas what I am missing now?

Thanks!
