Travis A. Everett bf2ee3c565 install: fix addVolume perm issue for some users
As reported in #5198, volume creation can fail with a permission error
for some macOS users (probably secondary user accounts?) Sudo appears
to be sufficient to avoid this.

While I'm here, I also updated the sudo invocation added in 079bde2ae
to use the _sudo explanation wrapper.
