Hi all,

Trying to install perfsonar tools on a Ubuntu server.

Tried this:
$ sudo curl -o perfsonar-release.list
http://downloads.perfsonar.net/debian/perfsonar-release.list
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time
Current

$ sudo curl http://downloads.perfsonar.net/debian/perfsonar-official.gpg.key |
apt-key add -

My question, so I have to run as root or can I change the way the apt-key is
managed and get past running as root to install?

Thanks,
Maureen
