This probably applies to other cases.

What was observed for a user having zsh non used and installed as root was this:

Broot should be launched using a shell function (see https://github.com/Canop/broot for explanations).
The function is either missing, old or badly installed.
Can I install it now? [Y n]

Removing /home/solus/.local/share/broot/launcher/bash/1.
Writing br shell function in /home/solus/.local/share/broot/launcher/bash/1.
Removing /home/solus/.config/broot/launcher/bash/br.
Creating link from /home/solus/.config/broot/launcher/bash/br to /home/solus/.local/share/broot/launcher/bash/1.
/home/solus/.bashrc already patched, no change made.
IO Error : "Permission denied (os error 13)"

and the log contained

The problem was the non accessible .zshrc.

This should be easier to diagnostic and should not block the whole installation.

@HagaiHargil No, I didn't tackle it yet. I'm on a big new change introducing multi-panels and completion (in the "panels" branch) and everything else is frozen until I've finished it.

I've noted the interest in the issue, which matters a lot when I prioritize tasks.

@Canop I completely understand, thanks for taking the time to do such a large and important refactor!

I'm sorry if my message was hinting otherwise, I was simply trying to understand whether there's a "manual" fix I can try, since your initial report suggested that you are aware of a way to overcome it.

There's absolutely no problem in asking, no worry.

I don't think there's a hard problem here, other than finding the time to do a not terribly exciting change, and a rather painful one when it comes to thoroughly testing all paths.

I just wanted to document that if I simply run sudo /path/to/broot/executable --install then this issue is fixed.
