Some cask applications are trying to install to /Applications instead of ~/Applications or should ask for sudo password to complete

[michael-gracy]

For example, brew cask install Caskroom/cask/jenkins-menu fails when it tries to move 'Jenkins Menu.app' to /Applications where permission will be denied every time. At first I thought this was a homebrew error/bug. But I'm betting that it's something in my environment and I'll be damned if I can find it. Brief output from jenkins-menu install: '==> Moving App 'Jenkins Menu.app' to '/Applications/Jenkins Menu.app' Error: Permission denied - (/usr/local/Caskroom/jenkins-menu/0.2.0/Jenkins Menu.app, /Applications/Jenkins Menu.app) Follow the instuctions here: https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask/blob/master/doc/reporting_bugs/pre_bug_report.md

I am still running on 10.11.6 elCapitan

I've run brew doctor twice, got 3 warnings about unbrewed dylibs, headers and static libs. No errors. None of the warnings would cause this issue. I've had this problem with cask/gimp, cask/jenkins-menu and cask/sqlitestudio
