permission denied issue for installing software in step three： Configuring the shell

[Yuzhou-Arial]

i set the system for MacOS 14.5 followd by tap in "curl http://data.biostarhandbook.com/install.sh | bash" in the terminal. It gets error "permission denied" in step 3，like picture as follows. Does anyone knows why it happens and how to solve it ?

this sounds like the .bash_profile is not writeable, quite unexpected and normally that should not be set up like that

maybe some other tool you installed before did that and it seems you have ran that tool as sudo so now your .bash_profile is owned by root and not writeable,

you will need to make the file writeable,

try this:

sudo chmod a+w .bash_profile

you will need to enter your password for the command to run
