This is messing up folder permissions.

I was unable to download Minecraft Pi (modded)'s AppImage to the ~/.local/bin folder because that folder was owned by root. Why was it owned by root? Well this folder gives a clue: ~/.local/bin/pikiss-gui It's also owned by root.

To reproduce:

  1. First uninstall PiKISS-GUI
  2. Remove the ~/.local/bin folder. This is important because a fresh image of RPiOS does not have this folder.
  3. Install PiKISS-GUI and notice that it has created the ~/.local/bin/pikiss-gui folder, and the parent folder, ~/.local/bin, both being owned by root, rather than by the current $USER.

Please fix this.

Quick look revealed it's because ninja -C build install is called with sudo (

pikiss-gui/build.sh

Line 4 in b189ad0

sudo ninja -C build install
).

Now when installing PiKISS-GUI it gives me this error:

Oh.. you need to chown -R $USER:$USER ~/.local/ and then start the build

Same error after trying your suggestion, @Jai-JAP.

Can you try to reproduce this?
