Proposed Changes

In sections "Configuring Napalm" and "Remote File Storage", the docs recommend using the following commands:

sudo echo napalm >> /opt/nautobot/local_requirements.txt
sudo echo django-storages >> /opt/nautobot/local_requirements.txt

These commands do not work as sudo does not apply to the redirect. Using these commands will result in permission denied:

vagrant@ubuntu:/opt/nautobot$ sudo echo napalm >> /opt/nautobot/local_requirements.txt
-bash: /opt/nautobot/local_requirements.txt: Permission denied

Potential fix:

sudo sh -c "echo 'napalm' >> /opt/nautobot/local_requirements.txt"
sudo sh -c "echo 'django-storages' >> /opt/nautobot/local_requirements.txt"

Ah yes. Another option would be echo 'napalm' | sudo tee -a /opt/nautobot/local_requirements.txt. Thanks for this.
