Script doesn't work without sudo

[rahji]

Not sure if it's the way that homebrew was installed on this computer way back when, but the script doesn't work unless I run it under sudo. Here's the error I get:

fatal: could not create leading directories of '/usr/local/Library/Taps/caskroom/homebrew-cask': Permission denied
Could not setup brew cask, quitting.

Even with sudo, it fails with the following error:

Setting up brew cask.. (this could take a while)

I'm assuming homebrew was installed on this machine as root. Reinstalled homebrew, removing old unwritable directories as prompted, and now the script works.

Hm.. I guess there are still issues. It failed when it got to SuperDirt.

Checking if SuperDirt quark is installed..
SuperDirt quark was not found

Hi, thank you for reporting this. I will look into it.

If its only the SuperDirt dependency that is missing, you should open the file install-superdirt-quark.scd in SuperCollider and follow the instructions there. This will install the SuperDirt quark.

Thanks David - actually more went wrong.. I'm assuming your script also does this at some point "cabal install tidal". Apparently that failed but the script didn't complain about it. Running "cabal install tidal" from a shell prompt gave errors about a ton of prereqs failing to compile. I was able to get around the problem by reinstalling Haskell (apparently I had an old version on my computer already). After that, the command worked fine.
