Installing with root credentials and a umask of 077 means that files get
created rwx------, meaning that only root can read the files you
created.  I'm therefore not surprised that your installation blew up
when a normal user tried to run it.  ;-)

022 is more appropriate, except in rare special cases such as config
files that contain passwords, or private host keys and the like.
