I think that in version 3 I was allowed to run 'lb init' as normal user. On version 4 I get this:

lb init is something new in v4. In v3 you'd run 'lb config' as a normal user.

$ lb init E: need root privileges

I can't think of a more clear answer to your question then that.

Well, I wrote to suggest that the documentation should be updated.

'lb config' also must be run as root:

$ lb config

$ sudo lb config

I prefer that config/ files belong to normal user. I'll change the owner manually.
