Problems cloning the git repo, on Ubuntu

Andy Burnett
First of all, I don't have much experience with either Ubuntu, or Git, so this is likely to be an RTFM problem.

I would like to end up with a local copy of the LK system
  1. I am running Ubuntu in a VMWare image
  2. Node, and NPM both installed happily
  3. Issuing the clone command (both normally, and using sudo) produces "Permission denied (publickey). fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly"
What am I doing wrong?

Cheers
Andy

Hi Andy -

on GitHub, next to the URL that you're supposed to clone, there are
buttons saying "ssh", "http" etc. that give you different URLs for
different protocols.
I guess the problem is that you're using a "git@..." URL of a
repository that you don't have full access to. The "https://..." URL
should work for read-only access.
If you want to make changes, it probably makes most sense for you to
fork the repository and then clone from your own "git@.." URL.

Best,
Fabian
