npm setup, initialization, permissions


Resolving permissions issues encountered when trying to install Node.js packages globally using npm (Node Package Manager) on macOS.


Example: The error message indicates that there is a permissions issue when trying to copy the irestore binary to /usr/local/bin/irestore. This is a common issue on macOS when attempting to install packages globally without sufficient permissions.


Specifically, the issue arises when the user does not have the necessary permissions to copy files to the /usr/local/bin directory, which is a common location for installing executable binaries.
