This script must be run as a normal user, not root [b]fixed[/b] logged in as root

I am new to Linux.

I am trying to install my VPN.run file but I am told that I need to run it as a normal user, not root.

I have searched the web but I ended up here. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Searching a net search, I found the following:
https://www.infradead.org/openconnect/nonroot.html

https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/UnprivilegedUser?cf_chl_jschl_tk=pmd_OJoRgJYmEUWZQ5QVQ0Cbn4BIOtdSNWj4APCoIiFuHhU-1630030037-0-gqNtZGzNAfujcnBszQhR

I was running the script as root, that may have been the problem.

ETA:
I logged out of the root account then into the standard account
Logged out of the standard account then into the root account

VPN client installed on first try. I am now even more confused.
