Deadline 10.1.18.5 on OSX Catalina MongoDB install error

Deadline

I’m trying to install the Repository and database on an Intel MacMini running Catalina.
When it gets to the ‘Install a new MongoDB database on this machine?’ I get…

There has been an error.
MongoDB installation requires root privileges. Please run this installer as the root user.
The application will exit now.

I have tried running it as root and as an admin user. Both the same.

Even tried installing MongoDB manually but nothing.

Any ideas?

I got it to work…
I copied the installation to my Desktop
Then login as an administrator and open a terminal.
Become root user by typing: sudo -i

In the terminal dig down to the executable directory of the installer app:
cd /Users/[yourusername]/Desktop/DeadlineRepository-10.1.18.5-osx-installer.app/Content/MacOS/

Run the executable: ./osx-x86_64
