zsh: permission denied

I m a beginner with terminal I don't know why every time I try to open a directory from the terminal this pops up. Even I gave full disk access to the terminal then also this pops up. permission denied

Solution

  • If you want to be able enter dirs without typing cd, you need to add this to your .zshrc file:

    setopt autocd

    Also, if you want to insert the value of a parameter – such as $PWD or $HOME – you need to prefix its name with a $, like I just did. The $ tells the shell to substitute the value of the parameter, instead of treating whatever you typed as plain text (unless substituted by a global alias).
