how do I use the "--github-token" option properly, I have my token but can't use the option properly to set it on ferium

You need to add --github-token <token> in the beginning of any commands you issue. I would recommend you use the environment variable instead: export GITHUB_TOKEN=<token>. You can put that line in your .bashrc or equivalent to persist it.
