Could not get authorization that is needed for continuing the installation.

@Ratzz Normal users are not allowed to write to /opt
In general, normal users are only allowed to write in their home directory an /tmp
So, you need to be root if you want to install in /opt.
If you do call a command with sudo on Ubuntu then you become root during execution of that command, that's why it works with sudo on Ubuntu.
On RHEL try to call su in a terminal and enter your root password and then call the install app from same terminal. -

Problem only when i try to install the installer on double click on /opt path only.
On linux this is not meant to be done this way... Install scripts are meant to be run from the terminal, using root privileges. Ubuntu tweaks the logic by allowing everyone to prepend a
sudoto every possible command, but it by far not the standard way. -

@jsulm
but in ubuntu on double click of installer on /opt path it ask for root password and it installs with root password .
But in rhel on double click of installer on /opt path it ask for root password and it installs with root password it gives error as show in original post. -

As you were told Ubuntu's not linux. They've tweaked the usual behaviour to allow people to do things without thinking.
