As a standard linux user, I can't run this on /usr/local due to permission denied things.

#

Next natural step the linux community will do is try adding sudo

sudo curl -L https://dl.dagger.io/dagger/install.sh | sh

This doesn't work because you need sudo on the latter sh part

#

I then did sudo -s to become root, and then I ran it

#

So the conclusion here is,

you need to be root to run this command, unless there are workaround,
the documentation doesn't say what you need root and non-root for

👆 this is the most common path the community will take, so making what is and isn't root-ish will be useful for them.

Extra thoughts:
Sometimes they won't have root access, but some kind of 'ci' user on a remote machine where they want to install dagger onto.

Thanks for the feedback Paul!
@safe blaze wdyt about adding an admonition for root privileges in the docs?
Maybe an admonition takes too much space, so there might be a better implementation?
