Since Resolve 15, we've specifically said NOT to install Resolve as root, as that can cause permissions issues.
And you should not need to. Make sure the DaVinci_Resolve_Studio_18.6.6_Linux.run file is executable.
If it is, and it still won't install, you can TRY installing as root. Just not sure what's going to happen.
Follow the command line instructions from the Install PDF and login as root and don't sudo the last line:
cd ~/Downloads/
unzip ./DaVinci_Resolve_Studio_18.6.6_Linux.zip
chmod +x ./DaVinci_Resolve_Studio_18.6.6_Linux.run
sudo ./DaVinci_Resolve_Studio_18.6.6_Linux.run -i
Again, this is not recommended and I'm not sure how well it will work.
