Error: Failed to install packages | IO error creating the wapm_packages directory

[BernhardRode]

Describe the bug

I'm trying to install wasmer on latest OS X. And i get an error about wasmer not being able to install cowsay.

So it created some folders, but did not manage to put the cowsay.wasm file into the correct folder.

Steps to reproduce

➜  ~  curl https://get.wasmer.io -sSfL | sh
Welcome to the Wasmer bash installer!

Expected behavior

Cowsay should be installed and executable via cowsay

Actual behavior

I did a clean install and tried to run wapm install -g cowsay

Additional context

I saw that $WASMER_CACHE_DIR was not created during install, so i created it, which did not help.

I've also seen, that the error outputs for package "syrusakbary/cowsay 0.2.0". No such file or directory (os error 2)where there is a space in the package name. Could this be the issue?
