Nodemon cant install on OSX El Capitan due security issues(apple remove full access of super user).

[jcbritobr]

The new "security feature" of OSX El Capitan blocks npm to install nodemon. In El Capitan, sudo cant write on systems folder.

/usr/local/bin/nodemon -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/nodemon/bin/nodemon.js

[email protected] install /usr/local/lib/node_modules/nodemon/node_modules/fsevents
node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build

It works if i pass --unsafe-perm on the command line.
