[Mesa-users] Could not clone repository for MESA Docker

[Nicholas Proietti]

Hi Evan,

After I typed mkdir test_dir, I got the following message:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘test_dir’: Permission denied
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was more successful though in executing the clone command in ~/Desktop,
as I got the following message:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cloning into 'MESA-Docker'...
remote: Counting objects: 252, done.
Receiving objects:  59% (149/252)    0 (delta 0), pack-reused 252
Receiving objects: 100% (252/252), 74.24 KiB | 1.12 MiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (148/148), done.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks,
Nick
