Installation instructions

Proposed Changes

The installation guide asks to use sudo with a pipe in the following way.

sudo echo napalm >> /opt/netbox/local_requirements.txt

This does not work and will result in an error.

-bash: /opt/netbox/local_requirements.txt: Permission denied

To use a pipe, you could for example leverage 'tee':

echo 'napalm' | sudo tee -a /opt/netbox/local_requirements.txt
