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?

Hi,

sudo is missing from the getting started page on that line :

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

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?
