> During installation PATH environment variable should be updated. For example to make permanent changes for PATH variable /etc/paths file should be modified and that requires administrative privileges.
> For Alpha release we could be running installer with sudo
> {code}sudo open DevSuite.app{code}
> Another option to investigate is using AppleScript and run the same shell script above with elevated privileges like this
> {code}do shell script «open DevSuite.app» with administrator privileges{code} 
> that would trigger standard UI Dialog requesting user login/password with administrative privileges. This should be included int DevSuite.app package configuration after it is assembled by electron packages.
