Not for this PR, but to ponder, so we can follow up:

Given that it is standard in OS X for /usr/bin to not be writeable — for any user, unless set in the system settings, and that it is not that uncommon apparently for /usr/local/bin/ to not exist, what do we want the user experience to be. Recall any other path we add we would need to have the user update their PATH.
