...it's never a good idea to maintain software you installed yourself
as user "root".  A better solution is to run

  sudo chown -R howard:users /usr/local

Then you are the owner of /usr/local and can run tlmgr without sudo,
etc.  This is not only much more secure but also much more convenient.

Regards,
  Reinhard
