I'm getting Permission denied for default installation instructions

➜ mkdir -p /opt/ejson/keys

mkdir: /opt/ejson/keys: Permission denied

if I force it with sudo then it will fail a bit later:

➜ ejson keygen -w              

Key generation failed: open /opt/ejson/keys/60d0a301cb16469fe74dc09f6390003515f4c78ebb4b1b12074c06c9e7d0b64c: permission denied

Probably have to sudo chown -R $(whoami) /opt/ejson. This probably isn't new, but we should have it documented.
