This Failed to create directory /Users/_ide/tmp/Downloads looks bad.

There is either a clean bug in our code or the installation was done wrong. IDE_ROOT should point to the users home directory /Users/mymac or somewhere within that but NOT /Users. Therefore /Users/_ide is dead wrong. Due to limited permissions and security restrictions you cannot create new user directories on MacOS without privileges.

The error messages at the beginning however look as if the installation is not sane and IDEasy was not properly installed on that Mac:

  1. IDE_ROOT is not defined
  2. If IDE_ROOT was /Users/mymac/Documents/Dev/IdeasyTestProjects/ then /Users/mymac/Documents/Dev/IdeasyTestProjects/_ide/bin/ needs to be added to the PATH what is obviously not the case (command not found: ideasy).
