uv self update fails with github token error

[Ramesh-kumar-S]

Question

I am just trying to see how the uv self update works, yet it is failing with below error.

(UV) [root@testmachine UV]# uv self update
info: Checking for updates...
error: failed to execute installer
  Caused by: Permission denied (os error 13)
(UV) [root@testmachine UV]# 

Yet when we do uv pip install --reinstall uv, It works seamlessly.

Any reason for that ?

Platform
