Have I missed anything here? fresh yosi install, ran command, entered admin password... Permission denied?

hmm. can you try running:

 (mkdir -p /tmp/dots && cd /tmp/dots && curl -L https://github.com/matthewmueller/dots/archive/master.tar.gz | tar zx --strip 1 && sudo sh ./install.sh)

Changed: sh ./install.sh => sudo sh ./install.sh

Yeah that got it going, when I started it by running dots boot osx it went though a number of steps but then hit an error and halted. FYI I'm running a brand new macbook retina with OS X 10.10.2, in the end I will probably will mod these scripts to suit my self. But on a fresh machine that I'm not fully using yet I was interested to see what your script did out of the box.

Thanks, Carl
