The /usr/local directory is not writable.
Even if this folder was writable when you installed Homebrew, other
software may change permissions on this folder. Some versions of the
"InstantOn" component of Airfoil are known to do this.
You should probably change the ownership and permissions of /usr/local
back to your user account.
