Fix missing symlinks on MacOS

Open nVitius opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

This is related to an old issue: https://github.com/keybase/client/issues/3627 that is still present today

When installing the Keybase client, it attempts to symlink keybase and git-remote-keybase to /usr/local/bin. On MacOS this directory is write-protected and the operation fails.

This PR attempts to make a change so that the installer will try to run sudo using sh -c ... if the directory is not writeable by us.

@chrisnojima can you review this PR?

The workaround isn't very easy to find (the linked GH issue) and not having this makes the CLI unusable on a MacOS install.
