Well IDK why this requires root but it shouldn't

This problem has been raised before. Symlinking to /usr/bin/local should indeed require root privileges. The idea was originally that you could symlink the CLI script to a command that would be run from a shell, but this has created problems for Linux. See here

On upstream, CLI installation silently fails for linux distributions. I've submitted a PR here that circumvents this issue if you're interested.

I see good job with the fix 👍

Congratz for the fix. Hopefully they'll integrate it as soon as possible.
In the meantime, is there any workaround for this issue? I cannot install even a simple theme!

@DarkAbhi why this issue was closed? I still have this issue in the last hyper version.
