I used to run Protractor tests successfully (on Mac) and I tried to upgrade version, so I ran
$npm install -g protractor
and it seemed like it worked - when running
$protractor --version
I get
Version 1.8.0
but now, when running
$webdriver-manager start
I get
fs.js:642
return binding.mkdir(pathModule._makeLong(path),
^
Error: EACCES, permission denied '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/protractor/selenium'
at Object.fs.mkdirSync (fs.js:642:18)
at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/protractor/bin/webdriver- manager:108:6)
at Module._pile (module.js:456:26)

at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:497:10)
at startup (node.js:119:16)

any ideas?
