Permission denied @ apply2files - /usr/local/lib/node_modules/expo-cli/node_modules/extglob/lib/.DS_Store?

Question

I was installing the starship via homebrew but I am getting this error:

Permission denied @ apply2files - /usr/local/lib/node_modules/expo-cli/node_modules/extglob/lib/.DS_Store 

Any solution for fixing this error?

Thanks.

Answer 1

This issue appeared after upgrading macOS to Mojave 10.14.X onwards.

Therefore, you need to reset the permissions in /usr/local:

sudo chown -R $(whoami):admin /usr/local/* \ && sudo chmod -R g+rwx /usr/local/*

Answer 2

You can change owner by :

sudo chown -R ${LOGNAME}:staff /usr/local/lib/node_modules
