I'm using zsh on Mac,

❯ sw_vers                 
ProductName:            macOS
ProductVersion:         14.5
BuildVersion:           23F79

I tried to use "regular" terminal and still encountered this issue.

I tried rig system fix-permissions. It didn't work. Then I granted the terminal full disk access, and that worked. But that cannot be the permanent solution, right?

IDK if there is any other way for a command line app to run the R installer.

So, I agree that this is not great, and I'll

investigate if this is the best we can do,
If yes, then try to have a better error message, and
document this.

If you don't mind, I'll leave this issue open for now.

Oh, I don't mind. I just read your response, the FAQ, and just sort of thought it was a done and closed deal.

This might be new Mac OS related too. I'm very new to the mac universe, but googling didn't yield good answers either.

Thanks!

fwiw I got the same error message but the installation still worked without running more than rig install release in iterm2

r-lib / rig
