zsh: permission denied on Ventura

As EtreSoft mentioned, if you have Homebrew installed, get rid of it. Any other 3rd party utilities installed like CleanMyMac or Antivirus software packages installed? Might as well cover all these variables now. If you're developing, you should use the most native environment possible.

Did you do the following:

sudo /usr/bin/chsh -s /bin/zsh

and create a ~/.zshrc dot file to establish your PATH, prompt, and other shell settings. Zsh will not read any Bash dotfiles.

Is the first line in your script:

#!/bin/zsh

and if you are using any package manager, you need to have the full path to its bin directory. For example, to find and run Homebrew packages on Apple Silicon Macs, you would place /opt/homebrew/bin in your PATH. For Intel Macs, it would be /usr/local/bin.

If your script is referencing an application that you built, then you may need to give your application the expected privileges for Full Disk Access in addition to the Terminal application.

Hi - I am having the same issue. I am on an M1 Ventura. I have a folder on my desktop and when I drag and drop in Terminal I get a "zsh: permission denied: /Users/tomek/Desktop/Python"

I would be most garteful for any support. None of the solutions on the net work for me. Really weird ...

>sudo scriptname.sh

And the reason I suggest this is it would help verify if the problem is permission related or not. If it works with using sudo but not if used without, says root permission works but your user account permissions don't.

1. Active Developper Mode for terminal app

That's only for debugging apps

2. Active Full Drive Access for terminal app

Maybe a good idea if you are a heavy Terminal user. Otherwise, irrelevant to this problem.

3. chmod +x of build script and folder

Maybe necessary if the script and folder previously had incorrect permissions are you were trying to execute them via the shebang line. Irrelevant otherwise.

4. Check Folder Owner has Read/Write Permission

Irrelevent.

But it still zsh: permission denied

So I no idea what to do.

I'm going to take a wild guess. Tell me if I'm correct. You installed Homebrew didn't you?

Yeah, you'll need to get rid of that vile thing.

Hi Randall - I think it works ...

But didn't you say:

I am c developper.

Oh, wait. You didn't! This isn't even your thread.

<sigh>

Please start your own thread. Hijacking someone else's question is bad manners.

Have you tried using 'sudo' in front of the script?

Thx a bunch for replying ... and no I didn't use Sudo. How would it look like exactly?

Hi Randall - I get this "sudo: scriptname.sh: command not found"

Are you in the directory where your script is before you typed in the sudo line? And using your script filename with extension?

Yes I am:

tomek@Tomeks-MacBook-Pro ~ % sudo /Users/tomek/Desktop/firevue.py

Password:

sudo: /Users/tomek/Desktop/firevue.py: command not found

Can you (from the same directory) try typing sudo ls -l to see if it’s sudo or your script that can’t be found?

I don't have Homebrew or CleanMyMac. I have Bitdefender AV though ... could AV be the issue? Also I am not a developer ...

Sorry I wasn't aware. Didn't mean to hijack anyone's threat.
