Noob question, but hear me out
So I installed rclone word-for-word according to this (https://rclone.org/install/)
However, when I got around to rclone config the terminal returned 2020/02/28 11:37:29 Failed to load config file "/home/myUser/.config/rclone/rclone.conf": open /home/myUser/.config/rclone/rclone.conf: permission denied
In an attempt to fix this I ran chmod u+x "/home/myUser/.config/rclone/rclone.conf" which returned chmod: changing permissions of '/home/myUser/.config/rclone/rclone.conf': Operation not permitted
Then I ran the same command prefixed with sudo which seemed to work. Yet after running rclone config again the same permission denied error appeared. What should I do? What did I do incorrectly during install? I just want to be able to run rclone config without having to use sudo.
Unrelated side note I had a similar experience with Anaconda in which I can't run the command for opening the program without sudo but as I ran the command with it the launcher appears with an error message which I can't remember exactly but it ran along the lines of: "Cannot run in sudo mode, please do it again in user mode." Funny Catch-22 if you ask me. I ended up uninstalling it.
Solution: set the permissions of rclone.conf to chmod 777. I changed the whole folder and its files using sudo chmod -R 777 /home/myUser/.config/rclone/ for good measure. Now I can finally retry installing Anaconda.
