Is it possible to install the OP CLI using brew without sudo?

Hi, folks I've been looking forward to the CLI in v8 and have been excitedly waiting for the final release to come out :-) I've run into a minor problem when installing the OP CLI using 'brew'....

Hey Steve,

Thank you for reaching out to us.
After checking with my colleagues, I think the error here is because brew uses our .pkg installer, and installing .pkg requires privileged access, which is a built-in MacOS thing.
Unfortunately, you would encounter the same issue with the manual installer as well. We currently do not distribute raw binaries for the 1Password CLI.
However, distributing the CLI in more formats is on our roadmap, so this will be supported natively in the future. Can you please let us know, in the meantime, whether this is a blocker for your workflows, and if there is any immediate way that we can help with it?

Thank you!

Best,
Horia
