 Nyx does not have access to its cache folder unless it is run as root,
 When I use "sudo -u debian-tor nyx" I get a error  Unable to create a data
 directory at /root/.nyx ([Errno 13] Permission denied: '/root/.nyx'). By
 default the data directory should be a directory that is writable by
 debian-tor user.
