extism lib install fails on macOS due to missing /usr/local/include /usr/local/lib folders

[patrickmn]

Had to sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/include /usr/local/lib then sudo extism lib install worked:

patrick@Mac ~ % ls /usr/local/lib
libextism.a     libextism.dylib pkgconfig
patrick@Mac ~ % ls /usr/local/include
extism.h

What version of cli and mac version?

Is the cli installed to /usr/local/bin? If not did /usr/local exist before?

If I cd /usr/local and run sudo rm -r lib include && sudo extism lib install, it creates the lib and include directories and installs for me on my mac.

The cli is supposed to create those directories though there's no error checking:

cli/lib.go

Line 197 in 3e6a227

os.MkdirAll(lib, 0o755)

Extism 1.6.2 and Sequoia 15.5

I had created /usr/local/bin previously but include and lib didn't exist, and extism lib install failed when it was extracting the tarball.

I just tried again and you're right, it actually works fine. I was thrown off by this first error message and created the folders in response, but I actually just forgot to sudo the first time.
