need to fix the cli execution permissions for normal users

[chronical]

Running the cslang cli requires superuser permission because of the logging log4j write permission

Need a way to enable acces to the cslang cli for any type of user

[x@ /]$ cslang
Loading..

• running with elevated privileges (sudo cslang) works as expected.

@chronical should it be normal to have superuser permission?

I'd propose using a secure location in the system with the current user, rather than elevated privileges.
