Hi I'm trying to install ETHNOS, a programming environment for the design of a real time control system composed of different robots, devices and external supervising or control stations.
Installing instruction are simple:
cd source
make
make install

Hi and welcome
You compiled the source as a regular user, which is good.
But the last command (make install) tries to copy the files into the system, to which a regular user doesnt have write access.
By using "sudo make install" the copy will succeed.
However, you will introduce unmanaged files into the system.
On a private machine/VM this might be accecptable, though.You must always face the curtain with a bow.

I think you solved my problem, unfortunately i'm new in the lunx world so everything is a problem for me,
and i'm also new in the forum so i don't know if i have to give you feedback or not.

No worries, all is well.
It might be good for future questions, if you include your distribution and version.
You are probably using ubuntu, as you have chosen the ubuntu section, but the version makes a difference in some cases.
Also it is good practice to use the CODE tags for examples and output, as this increases readability.
e.g.
Code:echo "hello world"
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
