mac CLI installed, permissions issue

i installed the mac CLI but when prompted for my password during the install process i entered the wrong password 3 times. The installer said it completed the installation but certain commands don't work such as the `nextdns start`, ` nextdns run`, and `nextdns uninstall`. when i run them with sudo, it says the app is not installed or i don't have certain files in my system.

% nextdns start   

Error: permission denied

% nextdns run

    On MacOS sudo is needed.  I don’t recall, but you might have to install sudo

    I am getting a similar message with or without sudo:

    sudo nextdns start

    Error: launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/nextdns.plist: /Library/LaunchDaemons/nextdns.plist: Service is disabled

    Load failed: 119: Service is disabled

    This worked for me.

    Uninstall and reinstall with the CLI. If necessary clear the DNS Setting in Network preferences before reinstalling or you may not have internet to run the curl command.

    Then run the following. to load and re-eanable the service.

    sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/nextdns.plist

    Thanks to this article:
