dnvm upgrade permission denied

I try to update dnvm in my Mac (El Capitán) but I always has this error:

dnvm upgrade
Determining latest version
Latest version is 1.0.0-rc1-update1 
dnx-mono.1.0.0-rc1-update1 already installed in /usr/local/lib/dnx
Adding /usr/local/lib/dnx/runtimes/dnx-mono.1.0.0-rc1-update1/bin to process PATH
Updating alias 'default' to 'dnx-mono.1.0.0-rc1-update1'
-bash: /Users/chemitaxis/.dnx/alias/default.alias: Permission denied

Any ideas? Thanks

Solution

  • Unfortunately, you used the installer that had a bug in it (see this issue) and now your .dnx folder has the wrong permissions.

    You have two options:

    1. Delete the /usr/local/lib/dnx and /Users/chemitaxis/.dnx folders, then get the latest installer and reinstall.
    2. If you don't want to delete those folders, here's a workaround: https://github.com/aspnet/dnx/issues/3191#issuecomment-159073517
