I then tried to copy it or drag it to /usr/share/m17n/, but I received an error message at this point which states, "Error while copying to "/usr/share/m17n". You do not have permissions to write to this folder." How can I change the permissions in the m17n folder so it will allow me to put the new file there? Or if not that, then what do I need to do to make this work? </blockquote></div> Copy the file with sudo: sudo cp /home/username/Desktop/hi-baraha.mim /usr/share/m17n/ By default, only root will have access to system files. sudo gives you root access temporarily. -- Regards, Satish
