ln error during script/setup

[harmtemolder]

Running script/setup gives me this error: ln: /Users/harmtemolder/.config//karabiner: Operation not permitted Rewriting line 12 from ln -sfn $PWD/karabiner ~/.config/ to ln -sfn $PWD/karabiner ~/.config fixed this.

I'm not confident enough around ln to change the file, but happy to do so if you agree that this would improve it.

👋 @harmtemolder: Sorry you ran into this issue getting things set up. I tried to reproduce this issue locally using a fresh installation of macOS Catalina, but I wasn't able to reproduce it:

So, I'm not sure what went wrong. :-/

Are things working for you now?

Hm, that's weird. I'm on Catalina too and cannot imagine that my ln functions differently from yours. Ah well, removing the / worked for me. If you did not have to do this, then I guess there is no need to change the file.

I'm on OSX Big Sur and I have the same problem. Unfortunately, removing the / did not fix the error.

The problem was that the ~/.config/karabiner directory already existed. The setup script worked after I removed the existing karabiner configuration (rm -rf ~/.config/karabiner).
