minimwatch installation (linux)

[simoncn]

The recommended installation procedure expects that you will install MinimServer or MinimWatch into a folder that has write permission from your login username. Because you have chosen to install MinimWatch under /opt, you will need to always run MinimWatch as the root user which is not good practice.

An alternative would be to create /opt/minimwatch and give it write access from your username. After this, you should be able to install MinimWatch using the recommended procedure and run it as a non-root user.
