This tutorial documents the method I use to install m2tstoavi. When I
install m2tstoavi, I usually download it into /usr/local/bin. Which as
you know, is only writable by root.
So that is the reason, why I use "sudo" to untar, it needs root
permissions to untar in that folder.
However you raise a good point, if users download m2tstoavi to their
own personal directory. Then the sudo would not be necessary.

I will update my tutorial.
