Make sure that you have the necessary rights and that you do not store anything on your broken source disk.

"Change the owner of the files, example sudo chown -R username recup_dir.* or sudo chown -R username /home/username/testdisk-6.14/recup_dir.*

I had to look this up on the internet.

Instead of changing the owner you could enable rights "free for all style":
chmod -R 777 /home/username/testdisk-6.14/

What is majaro as opposed to Manjaro?
What is "this"? Try to be specific and prevent misinterpretation.
The most recent version of Testdisk is 7.2-WIP.
SystemRescueCD, Gparted-Live, Knoppix-CD and Knoppix-DVD have version 7.1 of Testdisk built in.
I prefer Linux Mint with the XFCE desktop. You can run Linux Mint in Live Mode (without installation) When keying in "testdisk" in a shell you are being told what to do to install Testdisk. You just need a working internet connection.

When trying to run the most recent version 7.2-WIP (which is not beta software but rather the most current version) you don't need to compile the Testdisk source code. You can download precompiled binaries:
