 If your default prefix is /usr/local and you happen to get an error that says "error while loading shared libraries: libtoxcore.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory", then you can try running ```sudo ldconfig```. If that doesn't fix it, run:
 ```
-sudo echo "/usr/local/lib/" >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/locallib.conf
+echo '/usr/local/lib/' | sudo tee -a /etc/ld.so.conf.d/locallib.conf
 sudo ldconfig
 ```
