Installation using curl

yields:

It seems like it cannot create the /var/cache/netdata
folder, even if cleaned via rm -rf or through the uninstaller.
The install process also cannot start the service via systemctl
and reverts back to executing /usr/sbin/netdata
directly.
Folder DOES get created, but it seems there might be either a timing or validation issue upon service start
