Permission Denied When Installing Modules

[eeriemyxi]

I followed the README.md instructions step by step, but I am running into issues:

myxi :: ~/trash/site » hugo new site example.com                                                                                                                130 ↵
cd example.com/
Congratulations! Your new Hugo site was created in /home/eeriemyxi/trash/site/example.com.

Just a few more steps...

1. Change the current directory to /home/eeriemyxi/trash/site/example.com.
2. Create or install a theme:
   - Create a new theme with the command "hugo new theme <THEMENAME>"
   - Install a theme from https://themes.gohugo.io/
3. Edit hugo.toml, setting the "theme" property to the theme name.
4. Create new content with the command "hugo new content <SECTIONNAME>/<FILENAME>.<FORMAT>".
5. Start the embedded web server with the command "hugo server --buildDrafts".

See documentation at https://gohugo.io/.

Hugo provides its own webserver which builds and serves the site.
While hugo server is high performance, it is a webserver with limited options.

'hugo server' will avoid writing the rendered and served content to disk,
preferring to store it in memory.

By default hugo will also watch your files for any changes you make and
automatically rebuild the site. It will then live reload any open browser pages
and push the latest content to them. As most Hugo sites are built in a fraction
of a second, you will be able to save and see your changes nearly instantly.

Usage:
  hugo server [command] [flags]
  hugo server [command]

  server, serve

I am quite clueless on how to debug this.

Installation was performed on an Arch Linux WSL1 session. Hugo installed via sudo pacman -S hugo. uname -a:

Linux myxi 4.4.0-19041-Microsoft #3636-Microsoft Thu Oct 19 17:41:00 PST 2023 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Go version: go version go1.21.6 linux/amd64

[arosov]

chmod -R u+x ~/.cache/hugo_cache/

No idea where the root cause is. Either they're created with the wrong perms or something is attempting to open it requesting write perms, which may be wrong for a cached file.

Thanks for reporting back.
