Magento 2 issues installing sample data on installed Magento 2 website

Question

I have installed an instance of Magento 2 and I've SSH'd into my server.

I have updated the composer file by adding this into the require part:

"magento/module-catalog-sample-data": "2.1.0",
"magento/module-configurable-sample-data": "2.1.0",
"magento/module-cms-sample-data": "2.1.0",
"magento/module-sales-sample-data": "2.1.0"

I then run this:

bin/magento sampledata:deploy

But all I've getting is:

Permission denied

What do I need to do here to get the sample data installed?

Answer 1

Run it as php bin/magento sampledata:deploy and make sure you have the correct permissions.
