C:\android\tools>adb push asl-native /data/local/asl-native
failed to copy 'asl-native' to '/data/local/asl-native': Permission denied

Answer 1

You're not allowed to write to /data unless your phone is rooted and able to run adb shell as root.

Looking at asl's run script you might be able to change it to install it to the scard. I haven't tested it but it would look something like this:

# Install service
echo "Installing native service..."
$adb push ./asl-native /sdcard/asl-native
$adb shell /system/bin/chmod 0777 /sdcard/asl-native

# Start the service
echo "Starting service..."
$adb shell "/sdcard/asl-native /sdcard/asl-native.log" &
echo "Service started successfully."

Although I dunno if you're allowed to run chmod and make something executable. You might want to try running chmod 0777 on your local machine first.
