can't install ion-deploy on my mac

[Jimboidaho]

I have almost everything working on my mac (never used one before) but I can't seem to deploy on iOS from my cordova app. I can build to the emulator but trying to deploy to me iPhone  6 I get an error that I need to install iOS-deploy. When I run sudo  npm install -g iso-deploy I get this error.  

Any ideas?  Thanks.

james$ sudo npm install ios-deploy

Sorry I meant ios-deploy in the header.

Have you tried doing this?

1. Add the --unsafe-perm=true flag when installing ios-deploy
2. Add the --allow-root flag when installing ios-deploy
3. Ensure the nobody user has write access to /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ios-deploy/ios-deploy

I tried the 1 and 2 and they didn't work except I just realized that I spelled unsafe wrong.  Sorry about that everyone.
