show alert notification if on Read Only directory

Problem:

Sentry Error:

Cannot update while running on a read-only volume. The application is on a read-only volume. Please move the application and try again. If you're on macOS Sierra or later, you'll need to move the application out of the Downloads directory. See https:...

This is caused when user installing the GUI intentionally puts the GUI/APP in the downloads folder instead of the /Applications. When users do this, they remove the app's write permissions thus disabling it from doing anything.

use modal to show that it's not possible to work in the downloads folder (or read only)
