I ran this command to install mojolicious and I got the command below. Not sure how to solve it, please help.

~$ sudo curl -L https://cpanmin.us | perl - -M https://cpan.metacpan.org -n Mojolicious

! Can't write to /usr/local/share/perl/5.18.2 and /usr/local/bin: Installing modules to /home/foneworx/perl5
! To turn off this warning, you have to do one of the following:
!   - run me as a root or with --sudo option (to install to /usr/local/share/perl/5.18.2 and /usr/local/bin)
!   - Configure local::lib in your existing shell to set PERL_MM_OPT etc.
!   - Install local::lib by running the following commands
!
!         cpanm --local-lib=~/perl5 local::lib && eval $(perl -I ~/perl5/lib/perl5/ -Mlocal::lib)

    Can you be more specific about where you are stuck? That warning gives three choices for resolving the issue it is warning about. Have you tried any or all of those? If so, what happened? – mp3 Sep 14 '16 at 08:56

You sudo your file download (completely useless), but don't sudo Perl. Perl is the command you need to elevate to grant write permissions to the system.

The correct command-line is:

curl -L https://cpanmin.us | sudo perl - -M https://cpan.metacpan.org -n Mojolicious

Or you could just use the regular CPAN interface (I'm not familiar with cpanminus):

sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Mojolicious'

  • `sudo cpan Mojolicious` should work and it comes with Perl. With your first command, once you install cpanm, you don't need to use the `curl` anymore. – brian d foy May 21 '22 at 16:01
