I have installed the latest Brew on OSX. On running update or installing new formulas I get the following error:
Error: The following directories are not writable by your user:
/usr/local/share/man/man5
You should change the ownership of these directories to your user.
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/share/man/man5
And make sure that your user has write permission.
chmod u+w /usr/local/share/man/man5
At the moment I cannot find any information on what this means in context to brew
. My goal is to understand it and not just do the permission change without understanding the implications or why that directory doesn't have the right permission.
Thank you in advance.
Thank you. This solved my issues – SFbay007 – 2019-11-22T18:53:25.603
