Trying to set up my first BBS using synchronet on Ubuntu.  I'm
following the tarball instructions on the site's wiki.  When I get to
step 5:

echo RELEASE=1 > src/build/localdefs.mk

It tells me permission denied.  I've created the superuser sbbs as
suggested and I tried sudo.  Still get the same error.  Can anyone
help?

sudo sh -c “echo RELEASE=1 > src/build/localdefs.mk”

Google is your friend. Issue is piping and redirects via sudo.
