Unable to remove directory: Permission denied

[xavierp]

Good Morning,
I try to load 8 PixInsight updates but it gives me the following error:
Unable to remove directory: Permission denied: / Applications / PixInsight / doc / docs.

What should I do to avoid the error?

Thank you

Hi!

It looks like you are on MacOS, is that correct? If yes I think you installed PixInsight with root permissions. Can you confirm?

Hi,

yes, I'm on MacOS!!!...I think so!!

Hmm I just saw that I have installed PixInsight on my Mac with root permissions and I cannupdate it just fine. Sorry, no idea what may be going on.

Just change the permissions on the directory you are having trouble with and give it another try.
I update on a Mac without any problem with the normal admin account with root permissions.

Question, have you several user accounts on the Mac or just the single admin account?

[xavierp]

I have only the single admin account,

OK so try changing the permissions on the directory and see if that solves the problem
