Ran into this arror trying an install this extension on WSL. Any idea on how this can be resolved? I have tried editing and adding PATH Variables.

:~$ npx @sprkl/scripts install
 Starting sprkl installation!
    Installation path: "/home/isaac/.sprkl"
 Verifying dependencies(operating system, node and docker)
✅ Sprkl support OS Linux
✅ Supported node version was found!
    Node version: "v18.9.1"
[Docker] Check docker existence and accessibility
    command: "docker ps"
✅ Docker is installed and accessible
⚡ Installing npm packages under=/home/isaac/.sprkl/lib
Installing...
✅ NPM packages installed successfully

❌ Sprkl installation failed.
Reason: Symlinks creation to sprkl binaries at /usr/local/bin failed.
Suggestion: Please edit the PATH and SPRKL_PREFIX envars
(for unix systems usually in ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc):
export SPRKL_PREFIX="/home/isaac/.sprkl"
export PATH="$PATH:$SPRKL_PREFIX/bin"
Try resolving the issue, or contact the sprkl team.
Then run install again to complete installation:
npx @sprkl/scripts install

To access the path /usr/local/bin. You need to have root permission. And also need to create a Symlinks you need to have root permission.

So try to run that command as sudo.

sudo npx @sprkl/scripts install
