1. I encountered the same error as the OP.

2. Read this:

1. Thought that it’s not actually a file permission error, rather the installer was looking at the wrong place.

2. I knew that restarting the terminal would reload my .zshrc file, so I closed and opened the terminal.

3. I run the installation script again and I didn’t encounter this error anymore.

Could this issue be resolved with a terminal refresh strategically placed during the install process? 🤔
