Perms Error on MongoDB Install

Following through the installation steps for this course I get the following errors:

Error: An unexpected error occurred during the brew link step The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local Permission denied @ dir_s_mkdir - /usr/local/Frameworks Error: Permission denied @ dir_s_mkdir - /usr/local/Frameworks

I'm not sure what to do next. I certainly don't want to blindly make environment changes without understanding what happening. Any help would be appreciated.

Solved this. Followed the steps here - https://pedrosneglectedtechblog.blogspot.com/2018/04/fix-on-macos-high-sierra-brew-link.html

It seems to be a High Sierra issue. Once I had completed the steps at that URL I then ran brew install mongodb again and it all worked
