Turbo Tax 2022 is in read only volume

I just downloaded Turbo Tax Deluxe 2022 from Amazon. I moved .dmg to Applications. When trying to open it, I get this error that it is in the read only volume. I rebooted my Mac and it did not help. Please help!! Any suggestions? Thank you!

volume “Macintosh HD” is suddenly read only by Final Cut Pro Hi, I started getting this issue on Final Cut Pro when I tried to create a new library: "You can’t save the file “Test Library-Mac Mini.fcpbundle” because the volume “Macintosh HD” is read only. Try saving the file to another volume." When I logged out and logged back in as a new user, it went away. This means that settings or files in the original account might be causing the issue, according to Final Cut Support. What settings or files should I look into? Thank you

Troubleshooting my iMac Pro (2017). For some time my iMac Pro has been erratic and slow to respond. I run a lot of applications on it, but the main ones I use (other than basic Mac) are Final Cut Pro, Affinity Suite and ACDSee for Mac. In Recovery Mode, if I select Macintosh HD with Disk Utility and run First Aid on it, it tells me the volume is corrupt and I should backup the data. If I then Erase the disk and reinstall a clean copy of Ventura, Disk Utility First Aid reports no issues. When this happens, would I be right in assuming the Hardware is OK and it's a software issue, or am I over-simplifying it? Any learned advice would be welcome. Andy

Neil, I did this. And I am launching the app from the Applications folder. The error is still there. I am wondering whether there is something wrong with the dmg file. Any additional thoughts? Thank you!

Double-click the dmg file and drag its contents to the Applications folder.
