Trying to upgrade Intellij IDEA from 2016.2 to 2016.2.5 and I am getting this error:
IDEA does not have write access to /private/var/folders/_q/7md3pcy10x9cxjdt9nzxjvdr0000gn/T/AppTranslocation/97E0DA6A-73B2-4439-91AE-F7DD0353F063/d/IntelliJ IDEA.app/Contents
I can't modify the permissions of that folder because it is read-only. I've tried chown and chmod as root, neither of which work.

In the user field, type the username. You can press Ctrl+Space to use code completion in this field. Click the grant field, from the drop-down near each privilege, select Grant or Grant with option. The Grant with option privilege means that a user can grant to or revoke from other users those privileges.
Open that file by Finder. Right click and select Get Info. In that File Info window, select Sharing and Permissions , change Privilege as you expected.
From the main menu, select File | Repair IDE. IntelliJ IDEA will automatically launch the first recovery step and refresh the virtual file system. IntelliJ IDEA will display a notification that you can use to continue or complete the recovery process.
If you have several opened projects at the same time, you can switch between them using the following options: Switch to the next project window: Ctrl+Alt+] (Window | Next Project Window) Switch to the previous project window: Ctrl+Alt+[ (Window | Previous Project Window)
sudo xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine IntelliJ\ IDEA.app/ sudo chmod -R 777 IntelliJ\ IDEA.app/ these commands work recursively and fix the trouble

This is happening because of some new security feature in Sierra. I found some information about it here http://lapcatsoftware.com/articles/app-translocation.html
The work around I used was to go to the Application directory where the Intellij app was and delete the xattr com.apple.quarantine from the app. This stops the app from opening up in that read only directory.
ex.
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine IntelliJ\ IDEA.app If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
