Mac pre-built executable requires to create travis folder

[Jerrynet]

$ playground install download 0.6 --labels 0.6.2
SystemError("mkdir", 13, "/Users/travis")

After manually create a travis folder under /Users:

$ playground install download 0.6 --labels 0.6.2
SystemError("opening file /Users/travis/.julia/v0.6/Playground/deps/usr/.playground/.config-0.6.1.cache", 2, nothing)

Is BuildExecutable environment dependent?

My guess is that BuildExecutable is compiling in the home directory here. I'm not really sure what the best work around will be, but my suggestion for now is to download an initial julia binary the old fashion way and install playground via Pkg.add("Playground"). BuildExecutable doesn't seem very active anymore, so I might need to deprecate the binary playground releases in favour of a simple installer script that handles installing an initial version of julia for you.
