Install on OSX troublesome if you don't sudo to start with #64

Description

@piersb

Steps to replicate

  • Install glass package
  • Go to repository
  • glass install

Expected result: Error message saying you need to do this with sudo
Actual result: Partial install. The original install fails, but then trying to sudo install fails because some files already exist.

sudo glass uninstall followed by sudo glass install corrects the problem
