**Fix: Add sudo -E flag to installation examples to preserve environment variables** Updated all installation examples to include `sudo -E` flag, which is required to preserve exported environment variables when running with elevated privileges. Without this flag, users encounter AWS SSM Parameter Store errors when the script attempts to retrieve credentials that were already exported in their shell. **Changes:** - Added `sudo -E` to all install script usage examples - Added inline comment explaining the `-E` flag purpose - Updated troubleshooting commands to include `sudo -E` - Maintains backward compatibility with direct variable passing method This resolves a common user error where exported credentials are not passed to the script when using sudo.
