Installation aborted

[emilyanncr]

I am trying to install Acunetix on my fully updated Kali OS. I followed your directions as stated but the installation aborts. Looks like it's trying to create a bunch of folders under the acunetix user. But since I am not the acunetix user, I get permission denied errors despite running command with sudo.

Can you please advise?
So frusterating.

─$ sudo bash acunetix_13.0.200217097_x64_.sh

Acunetix Ltd normally provides the Product subject to a software License Control
Mechanism, embedded in the Product, which is designed to implement usage condit
ions that reflect the broad principles defined in this EULA.
The parties agree that it is not proportional nor reasonably practical for Acune
tix Ltd to remove this element of the code from the Product to change the EULA e
mbedded in its Product for the purpose of specific Federal Acquisition Regulatio
n (FAR) or corporate purchasing procedure compliance.
Similarly, Acunetix Ltd recognizes that, under FAR 1.601(a), in an acquisition i
nvolving the use of appropriated funds, an agreement binding on the U.S. Governm
ent may only be entered into by an authorized contracting officer. Acunetix Ltd
also recognizes that, under FAR 43.102, the same requirement applies to all cont
ract modifications.
All terms and conditions must be included within a purchasing contract signed by
the U.S. Government with Acunetix Ltd or its authorized distribution or resale
channel partner.
In light of the above FAR clauses, the below EULA clauses (a), (c) and (d) refer
ring to unilateral EULA updates by Acunetix Ltd, and acceptance of the EULA by t
he action of a U.S. Government employee clicking on a download or EULA acceptanc
e button, do not apply to You if You are a U.S. Government customer purchasing t
