I've been using this script without an issue for some time. Suddenly when I try to run it I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/username/./scripts/facer_rgb.py", line 203, in with open(CHARACTER_DEVICE, 'wb') as cd: PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/dev/acer-gkbbl-0'

I can still run it with sudo, but I don't believe it is a good idea to do so.

Closed this, because it can be solved with uninstalling the old version of the package and installing the new one. I suggest this remains here, because other people may face the same issue.
