Description
Hi,
I've been getting the following error when I enter run_keybase:
christian@cfthinkpad:~$ run_keybase
▶ WARNING Permission denied opening config file /home/christian/.config/keybase/config.json
▶ WARNING Permission denied opening gui config file /home/christian/.config/keybase/gui_config.json
▶ WARNING Permission denied opening updater config file /home/christian/.config/keybase/updater.json
▶ ERROR open /home/christian/.config/keybase/keybase.autogen.env: permission denied
every other file in the .config folder has 'christian' ownership, and I cannot change the permission for keybase, which has root ownership. I read multiple threads about this and don't know what to do. Thanks!

Research direction
Start with the run_keybase entry point and the ownership of /home/christian/.config/keybase/config.json, gui_config.json, updater.json, and keybase.autogen.env. Determine why the installed files are root-owned and verify that run_keybase can read them under the normal user's account.
