Hi,
I am new to Legato and are trying to install the legato framework on raspberry pi 3 platform. As per the Raspbian info page on legato, I installed the the raspbian lite jessie on the pi and also rebuilt the kernel with the configurations mentioned in the page.
After which I proceeded to install the legato framework by executing the following command:
**mkdir /mnt/flash**
But this is the error I get:
**mkdir: cannot create directory /mnt/flash : Permission denied**
Can anybody please tell what leads to this problem.
Also just to give you a view of my understanding of this subject, I am at a level what I call as _ **NoobLevel** _
Thanks in advance.

Needs root permissions. Thus has to be executed using **sudo mkdir**
