/usr/local/bin/dmm is read only (steam deck) #2

This occurs when executing the install sh.

I just double-checked this, and /usr/local/bin/dmm should be installed 755 (rwxr-xr-x) no matter what the permissions <git-repo>/dmm are. This is the default of what the install command does. And it allows only root to edit the file. For everyone else, the file will be read-only.

Should also note that Steam Deck is a special case and dmm is designed with allowing you to stay with an immutable root filesystem. In this case, you shouldn't be installing dmm system-wide to /usr/local/bin and just execute dmm from the directory you cloned the git repo to. If you choose to unlock the root fs, then yes, you can install dmm to /usr/local/bin.

Final note: Even if the file had no permissions, the root user ignores permissions.

Closing due to lack of response.
