I accidentally changed persmissions to /usr/local

I have been installing android studio, I download it from the homepage here.

I follow the instructions here, But I can't unzip the tar.gz file here, because I don't have permissions, and I did it with sudo:

$ cd /usr/local
$ sudo mv ~/Downloads/android-studio-2020.3.1.25-linux.tar.gz .
$ sudo tar -xvzf android-studio-2020.3.1.25-linux.tar.gz

and now I must do sudo ls when I don't need previously, or I can't use docker-compose because it's in /usr/local/bin

I don't know which permissions it has originally, and I don't know if I must only change the /usr/local ones or made some recursive action.

$ sudo ls -latr /usr/local
sudo ls -latr /usr/local/
total 44

Not clear if and how you changed the permissions in the first place. Not clear from your output that you cannot unzip the tar. In other words: the question is very unclear.

`drwx------ 11 root root 4096 nov 15 17:11 .` suggests you somehow removed group and other permissions on `/usr/local` itself (normally it should be `drwxr-xr-x`)

Ok, my computer is broken now, I will need some time to repair it. In the meantime, is it normal to change folder permissions if you unzip a compressed file into a directory?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
