Unable to copy directory

[floripaolo]

Hello!!
I seem to be unable to copy a directory to another location...
I just installed node.js on my RBPi Zero. Finally I tried to copy it to /usr/local with

Code: Select all

sudo cp -r node-v9.7.1-linux-armv6l/* /usr/local/

everything seems ok, no error messages. But when I check destination folder nothing has been copied....

Clarification is much appreciated!

Thanks!

You are copying all the files in directory node-v9.7.1-linux-armv6l to the directory /usr/local, but not the directory itself.

If you want to copy the directory v9.7.1-linux-armv6l (and all the files contained therein) to /usr/local, use:

Code: Select all

sudo cp -r node-v9.7.1-linux-armv6l/ /usr/local/
