Description
Running install script, either via curl or npm, throws a permissions error. unsure if this is related to #337 or not. Other global installs (yarn, flow, etc) work fine.

Love Up?
I want to! But I'm not the type of guy to casually toss-around sudo Love, you know?
oh hm, blast from the past: https://github.com/visionmedia/expresso/issues/35
We're having this issue right now, any workaround to install it on Ubuntu Linux?
@Khareta if you don't have permissions for /usr/local/bin you could try specifying a different location with $ curl -sf https://up.apex.sh/install | BINDIR=/path/to/other/dir sh
@tj Thank you. The way it worked was using sudo with sh:
curl -sf https://up.apex.sh/install | sudo sh
