I have the following error when trying to install...

mkdir: /opt/traccar: Permission denied
usage: cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvX] source_file target_file
       cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvX] source_file ... target_directory
chmod: /opt/traccar: No such file or directory
/Users/ianweatherhead/Desktop/traccar-macos-3/traccar.run: line 488: /opt/traccar/bin/installDaemon.sh: No such file or directory

can anyone shed any light as to what I'm doing wrong

Are you running installation script as root user?

not sure what you mean, i dragged traccar.run into terminal and this is what happened

mkdir: /opt/traccar: Permission denied
usage: cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvX] source_file target_file
       cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvX] source_file ... target_directory
chmod: /opt/traccar: No such file or directory
