copying xeol to `/usr/local/bin` would need root privileges #345

Hello, I noticed that the recommended one liner script gives permission denied error while installing at /usr/local/bin which is expected. I would suggest to add sudo at the beginning (sudo sh -s -- -b /usr/local/bin) to make sure the script has sufficient permission.

would prefer to leave sudo out in the default command especially since it's executing an install script from the internet. I would recommend installing to a specific location and then sudo moving to /usr/local/bin if only root has access to /usr/local/bin
