During the setup of my RPi 4b when I try to run the 'apt-get install duetsoftwareframework' I get the following error messages:

E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (13: Permission denied)

E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), are you root?

sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
sudo apt-get update

~~are you using the DuetPi image, or~~ have you enabled the duet3d package repository and ran sudo apt update after adding the duet3d package repository?

maybe trimming the instructions down helps?
