I think this is a permission issue on your computer. Have you tried doing research on this?

I believe following the instructions this would happen to any new linux user, until they were to send the sudo command. I know the password is usually cached for 5 minutes but sudo command is still needed to install the optional build tools if user is not su... If i am totally wrong I apologize!

I updated the instructions based on the latest nodesource documentation (which is the basis for this document):

# use `sudo` on Ubuntu or run this as root on debian
apt-get install -y build-essential

Thanks for pointing this out!
