Any way to prevent using sudo?

[ronnaf]

Is there any way to prevent using sudo every time I run this thing? It can be very harmful.

You mean with the CLI? You should never install global packages with sudo to begin with. https://github.com/sindresorhus/guides/blob/master/npm-global-without-sudo.md

After that, you shouldn't be forced to use sudo when using the cli.

I think sudo is required to be able to run it on Linux regardless. There's an open PR which addresses this #11.

Did anybody meet with the problem when installing the packages?

npm WARN enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/achao/package.json'
npm WARN achao No description
npm WARN achao No repository field.
npm WARN achao No README data
npm WARN achao No license field.

Sudo is not required on Linux if you add xorg-xbacklight as a dependency. See an example here https://github.com/i3bar/core/blob/db7cc783283020a45dac3e805fa6c6eb8f2fc6ee/example/utils.js#L87
