Permission denied when trying to cd /usr/local/bin from terminal
Solution 1:
In versions of OS X or macOS previous to High Sierra (10.13), you could just type:
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local
This does not apply to macOS 10.13 or above, as System Integrity Protection will ensure the ownership of /usr/local
cannot be changed.
Or if you want it specific to /usr/local/bin
:
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/bin
Also, your permission modes are off—ideally /usr/local/bin
should be accessible by others too:
sudo chmod -R u=rwX,go=rX /usr/local/bin
