Permission error when starting a microservice with Micro.mu

I have just created a new microservice with micro new <microservice_name> using Micro. I have then installed the needed dependencies (protobuf) and run make proto, as specified in the official documentation. However, when I run micro run ., I get Fork/exec /usr/local/Cellar/go: permission denied:.

I have already tried:

  • running the same command with sudo;
  • checking the permissions for /usr/local/Cellar/go (drwxr-xr-x);
  • checking the permissions for $HOME/bin/micro (.rwxr-xr-x);
  • reinstalling Go (brew reinstall go).

Nothing changed: I still get the same error message.

Solution

  • I have just found a solution. The issue I was experiencing was related to Homebrew. After uninstalling Go with brew uninstall go and installing it with the official installer for Mac (available at the official download page) I finally managed to start my microservice with micro server and micro run .
