I am getting the below error when deploying this scrip as a policy within Jamf Pro

Script result: Error: /usr/local is not writable. You should change the ownership and permissions of /usr/local back to your user account: sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local

Many Thanks for any support that you can provide.

Matty,

Could you tell me which OS you are seeing the problem on? Is it all Macs or only one or two? What do you see if you run ls -ld /usr/local on the Mac in question?

OK, it looks like some other software has changed the permissions of /usr/local, it shouldn't be setuid. Try it on a clean Mac and it should work. If you are running the script it's best to do it early in the build process as it relies on a clean system.

Thank you Tony, I will try this and get back to you with an update. Can you tell me what the permission from /use/local should read?

This resolved the issue I was having thank you. On another note if I wanted to add a command to install python after brew has installed where would I do this? Can I just add the terminal command brew install python?On 23 Nov 2020 22:38, Tony Williams notifications@github.com wrote: OK, it looks like some other software has changed the permissions of /usr/local, it shouldn't be setuid.
