Environment

• Platform: macOS 12.1, M1 chip
• Terminal emulator: iterm2
• Helix version: 0.6.0

Description

Using the hx command without sudo after a fresh install results in the following error:

Error: failed to initialize logging

Caused by:
    Permission denied (os error 13)

(also as a side note, hx -V just outputs "helix" with no version info)

~/.cache/helix/helix.log

chowning the .cache folder fixes it.
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /Users/$(whoami)/.cache/

Seems like this can be closed then ?
