Permissions Errors when running pimp-my-shell

[TheZenTester]

Describe the bug
I'm required to run as sudo in order to successfully install. If not run as sudo, p10k configure will not run, and error messages appear. Is there any way to install without requiring sudo perms?

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Download pimp-my-shell v 2.1.3
2. Run ./pimp-my-shell
3. errors appear during install.

Screenshots

First error appears:

Error messages appearing while running the install:

Hmmm, it looks like vim-go is trying to install deps in /usr/local
What is the output from:

echo $GOPATH
which go

Try setting your GOPATH and running again

# see https://zchee.github.io/golang-wiki/GOPATH/ and https://maelvls.dev/go111module-everywhere/ for more info
# TL:DR
# GOPATH is still supported even though it has been replaced by Go modules and is technically deprecated since Go 1.16, BUT, you can still use GOPATH to specify where you want your go binaries installed.
[[ ! -d "${HOME}/go" ]] && mkdir "${HOME}/go"
if [[ -z "${GOPATH}" ]]; then
cat << 'EOF' >> "${HOME}/.zshrc"

# Add ~/go/bin to path
[[ ":$PATH:" != *":${HOME}/go/bin:"* ]] && export PATH="${PATH}:${HOME}/go/bin"
# Set GOPATH
if [[ -z "${GOPATH}" ]]; then export GOPATH="${HOME}/go"; fi
EOF
fi

source ~/.zshrc

I haven't looked at this codebase in a while and no longer actively maintaining it, but perhaps this might resolve your issue.
