Issue
Whenever I try to install any plugin in Hyper, for example hyper i verminal, it errors out and opens another terminal for some reason, giving this error message (Using the AppImage):
[shadus@machine~]$ hyper i verminal
running in prod mode
electron will open file:///tmp/.mount_hyper-z5B0ZT/app/resources/app.asar/index.html
Setting Hyper as default client for ssh:// protocol
Failed to symlink Hyper CLI { Error: EACCES: permission denied, unlink '/usr/local/bin/hyper'
errno: -13,
code: 'EACCES',
syscall: 'unlink',
path: '/usr/local/bin/hyper' }Checking for notification messages
No matching notification messages
I saw a closed issue about this but it seems no solution was ever found for Linux users?
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by reproducing hyper i verminal with the Hyper 2.0.0 AppImage on Arch Linux and inspect the Hyper CLI setup path that reports the /usr/local/bin/hyper symlink error. Done means plugin installation completes without opening another terminal or failing with EACCES.
