I'm not a Mac user myself, but I've now had a couple of people ask me about EnergyPlus failing to run under El Capitan.

It seems like it's related to EnergyPlus putting files in /usr/bin and El Capitan no longer allowing that (the "rootless" / System Integrity Protection feature).

Is there a fix/workaround available for this?

This is a particular concern for me as I'm trying to get Eppy's wrapper for the EnergyPlus CLI working cross-platform and want to know if there is either a solution I can add to the wrapper, or at least what I need to add to the documentation so that Mac users can fix the issue for themselves.
