Installmgr attempts to install modules to your primary SWORD module folder.
There is a priority order in which this folder is found. CWD is higher
priority, the SWORD_PATH env variable, some other locations, and also location
set in /etc/sword.conf. there's a readme somewhere with the lookup order. My
guess is that it was using /etc/sword.conf and trying to install to
/usr,/share/sword which you don't have permission without sudo.
Hope this helps.
