A lot of the documentation here assumes you know the most basic stuff about linux norms and common linux programs. But those of us who need the documentation most usually don't, at least not when we first get here).
You can fix wiki by yourself And IMO itīs says it quite obviously in first sentence that you need root access.

Yes it assumes! And IMO It should assume. Why on earth someone would try to do anything in xterm/bash/shell before googling around and learning and reading what has been written many many times? IIRC there was even discussion somewhere here that should x term be even installed by default on N900 and lately I have had second thoughts about it.

But thank you for your guide. All this stuff has been said n+1 times already. If just users gave themselves ~1h of time to read stuff.
