Error when updating to 3.9.1 on macOS #109

Hello all. I am running Homebridge on macOS Catalina. When I try update the Blink Plugin, I receive the error below. I am performing the update logged in with the admin account. I am not sure what else to do. The previous version installs just fine. Any help would be appreciated.

That seems odd. Can you check your permissions on the directory structure /Users/admin/.npm/_ffmpeg_for_homebridge/.download. I'd also check to see if node has access to write to that location.

Just for kicks, I gave the group "everyone" Read Write Execute permissions to that location. I have reinstalled node and I still can't get the plugin to update.
