A Read-Only Filesystem generally occurs when something goes wrong and the system decides it's safest to go read-only.
The solution is to remount the system as read-write.
sudo mount -o remount,rw /partition/identifier /mount/point
You can find the mount point with this command:
mount -v | grep "^/" | awk '{print "\nPartition identifier: " $1 "\n Mountpoint: " $3}'
You might need to unmount if already mounted.
