sudo jq query permission denied

Question

Im trying to use jq to alter a json file via a script.

in my terminal im trying to run this, but getting a permission denied error. Im able to change it using a sudo nano manually.

sudo jq -c  '.interpreterSettings."2ANGGHHMQ"."properties"."zeppelin.pyspark.python" = "python3"' interpreter.json > tmp.$$.json && mv tmp.$$.json interpreter.json

Any ideas on why?

Thanks, Tim

Simple fix, just gave user permissions on directory.

sudo chmod -R 777 /etc/zeppelin/conf

Granting global write and execute to a conf file is almost always the wrong thing. – MillerGeek Jul 16 '19 at 14:49
