error: AccessDenied (syslink)

[yadav-saurabh]

I am using Linux latest build of zigup v2023_07_27 zigup.ubuntu-latest-x86_64.zip

I looked into it and seems like ln -s (syslink) for /usr/bin requires sudo access.

if I run zigup with sudo, then it requires root access to run zig.

$ zigup 0.12.0-dev.899+027aabf49
