    To test, run the "ti sdk" command to determine the default Titanium SDK install location. For Mac OS X, the default install location is "~/Library/Application Support/Titanium". Next, run: 
       sudo chown root:admin ~/Library/Application\ Support/Titanium
    Then run "titanium sdk install --branch master" to try to download the latest SDK. The install will fail and the SDK is not downloaded. To restore your folder permissions, run: 
       sudo chown YOUR_USER_NAME:staff ~/Library/Application\ Support/Titanium
