+When installing DIS on Mac, you may get an error due to your user not having permissions to install npm modules as global binaries (the `-g` option). To fix this, follow these steps:
+
+1. Type `npm config set prefix /usr/local` in your terminal
+2. Re-run the install command with the `sudo` prefix, e.g. `sudo npm install -g fliplet-agent --force`
+
+The `fliplet-agent` command should now work.

+Alternatively, you can install [Node Version Manager](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) to avoid using sudo commands:
+
+1. Install nvm: `curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.2/install.sh | zsh`
+2. Install node 12: `nvm install 12`
+3. Re-run the DIS install command: `npm install -g fliplet-agent --force`
