Hi,

You did not have write permissions in the root directory and is not a good practice to use it for any purposes.
You have to go to your user folder located in home/ folder. So type " cd home/<your_user>" then do the clone.

The python error tells you that it can not communicate with the card (not present or a jumper installed). Please install the command line first and test the card by running "4rel4in -list" .
