need to get a clone. The clone is only needed for the installation procedure
and some maintenance tasks (alternatively you can create your own fork).
+For the installation procedure, use a *sudoer* login to run the scripts. If you
+install from ``root``, take into account that the scripts are creating a
+``searx``, a ``filtron`` and a ``morty`` user. In the installation procedure
+these new created users do need read access to the clone of searx, which is not
+the case if you clone into a folder below ``/root``.
