Installing JuliaPro 0.6.2.2 on a linux machine following the JuliaProQuickStartGuideLinux.pdf, which indicates that I should expect the installation file with the name `JuliaPro-0.6.2.2.sh`, whereas the main installation file I found/downloaded from on the download page is `JuliaPro-0.6.2.2_build-314.sh.asc`. Am I missing anything?

I followed exactly the instruction and this is what I see:

```julia
JuliaPro installation has started, please wait until all the files are extracted

OS Detected: Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS
Online Installation : Requires internet access
Like: Ubuntu

Checking pre-requisites...
Installing JuliaPro-0.6.2.2 to /home/juliapro/JuliaPro-0.6.2.2/
Running postinstall script
./postinstall.sh: line 4: /tmp/postinstall_results: Permission denied
postinstall script run
/home/kuan/Downloads/JuliaPro

```

I wonder why I need permission this time. I don’t recall that I need any permission in any of my previous installations. I can, of course, install with `sudo`, but I wonder if others others except the super user can use JuliaPro on the same machine then.
