Woah, it's cross platform and has Linux support?! Thanks for sharing!

Oh, it sadly requires `sudo` but only tells me it's for `/usr/bin/env`. Not that I'm security paranoid or anything but I'm afraid it'll bork my system by overwriting random things on my filesystem with root stuff. Gonna have to pass, sadly.

chroot may help you. Or containers.

you could try running it in a sandbox

hm, does not seem to require sudo here on arch ?

Just run the installer in the terminal as `./DaVinci_Resolve_16.2.7_Linux.run --nonroot`.

Oh brilliant! Thank you!

Just for posterity, this is the command I ran:

    ./DaVinci_Resolve_16.2.7_Linux.run --nonroot -C ~/Programs/DaVinci_Resolve/

The following still happens:

Creating Common Data Dir : /var/BlackmagicDesign/DaVinci Resolve

mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/var/BlackmagicDesign’: Permission denied

It then crashed on the first few runs but then started. Cool tool, though!
