Linux Mint/Py 2.7.12 "Command not found"

I can’t seem to get the blinkstick command to work on Linux.

If I run the command “blinkstick -h” I get the help info, but running anything else gives me a long error, but I guess the important bit would be this (?):

raise USBError(_str_error[ret], ret, _libusb_errno[ret])
usb.core.USBError: [Errno 13] Access denied (insufficient permissions)
