Permission denied error when running "shopify app dev"

I have shopify CLI version 3.72.2. When I run the command “shopify app dev”, it give the following error

╭─ error ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮

I also tried to run the command with "sudo " but then it gives the following
Sorry, user is not allowed to execute ‘/usr/local/bin/shopify app dev’ as root on “system_name”

Could anyone tell me what the issue is with it? or suggest me some other approach.

I noticed this file was missing:

'/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@shopify/cli/bin/cloudflared'

When I installed with ‘npm install -g @Shopify_77 /cli@latest’ I noticed I got a lot of flack about not installing optional dependencies because of my npm version being too low. But I updated npm and the problem persisted. Some of the modules that it wouldnt install were cli tools and I guess Cloudflared was part of that.

I use wsl on windows and ended up installing the latest Ubuntu, re running the setup and this error was no longer presenting itself (along with all those dependency issues).
