heroku login give me EAACCESS:permission denied

I have installed heroku toolbelt but each time I do "heroku login" or any other heroku command like "heroku version" I get something like :

autoupdate:: 'EACCES': EACCES: permission denied, mkdir ▸ '/home/vanessa/.cache/heroku/update.lock.readers.lock' ▸ 'EACCES': EACCES: permission denied, open ▸ '/home/vanessa/.cache/heroku/plugins.json' ▸ 'EACCES': EACCES: permission denied, mkdir ▸ '/home/vanessa/.cache/heroku/update.lock.readers.lock'

I have deleted and reinstalled, I have also done sudo apt-get upgrade heroku to update the CLI, however I still get same results. My OS is Ubuntu Linux.

Solution

  • You don't have permission to access that file. Run rm -rf /home/vanessa/.cache/heroku and hopefully it will be recreated with the right permissions.
