I'm following the Installation instructions, but when I execute virtualenv --download /opt/isso I get the following error:
virtualenv: error: argument dest: the destination . is not write-able at /opt/isso

At this point, I haven't begun configuring anything, so I can't see how this error is my doing. I followed the installation instructions up to this point.

Output of uname for reference:
Linux rpi5 6.6.74+rpt-rpi-2712 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.6.74-1+rpt1 (2025-01-27) aarch64 GNU/Linux

You will need to run these commands as a user that can actually write the /opt/isso. That error suggests the current user can't.
