I am currently really struggling in getting Truffle up and running. I am running MacOS Mojave and have Node (v.10.16.0) and NPM (6.9.0) and have tried
npm install -g truffle
and have gotten:
npm WARN checkPermissions Missing write access to /usr/local/lib/node_modules
npm ERR! path /usr/local/lib/node_modules
npm ERR! code EACCES
npm ERR! errno -13

And when I try
sudo npm install -g truffle
I get:

If you know what I can do, please explain it as simple as possible. I am not too well versed in doing things in Terminal; I'm just trying to learn how to program smart contracts and I can't seem to even set up my computer to do so.
