**Hey All**

I’ve run through the installation process multiple times now. Unfortunately, each time the entire process comes to a complete halt at

```
cd /var/www/discourse && chown -R discourse /var/www/discourse

```

I’ve tried to create the folder myself, since it didn’t even exist, but it doesn’t seem to have any impact. I’ve rebooted multiple times as well. I’m at a loss here.
