Bot can only be mounted using `sudo ./bp` and very unstable when loading the modules used

[BenjiTheC]

I’m totally a newbie in Botpress or any other chat bot platform. I just downloaded the bot press platform and run the server. I followed the Quick Start instruction and create a test chatbot. But the server shows a BotService error - Error: Socket hanged up.

I’m familiar with Node though and realize this is a requests related error, but don’t know how to address it in the botpress since I downloaded the binary, not building form source (which I believe is recommended against).

There are some other HTTP requests to the local server that’s failing, including getting the docker image and custom css. I came across another error saying the language 'en' is not supported, I’m located in China mainland and you know that GFW thing. I got it addressed after I add a proxy server setting in npm global setting. But these 2 failed local network requests don’t look like the same type of problem.

Can anybody land a hand on the issue? Any information will be much appreciated. Here below is my OS info:

• OS: macOS Catalina v10.15.3
• Node version: Node 10.16.3
• Shell: ZSH
• Browser: Chorme Version 80.0.3987.132 (Official Build) (64-bit) Thanks!

Follow up:

I manage to mount the bot by running the command sudo ./bp. But it seems like this approach generally takes longer to initiate the server than simply run ./bp, and is very unstable, some time when I close the development server, and try to restart it, it just doesn't continue to load modules after detecting what modules are using.
