Hi @Madhankumar Kalviselvam!

This issue is typically caused by macOS security restrictions (TCC – Transparency, Consent, and Control) blocking the terminal from resolving system file paths via pathlib, rather than a bug in your code or CLI setup.

Here are the step-by-step troubleshooting options, starting with the most likely fix:

1. Grant Full Disk Access to your Terminal (Most Likely Fix)
   • Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access.
   • Toggle on/add the terminal app you are using (Terminal, iTerm2, Warp, etc.).
   • Restart your terminal completely and try running the command again.
2. Remove Quarantine Attritbute
   • If macOS Gatekeeper is blocking the binary:

   • Bash
     xattr -d com.apple.quarantine $(which acli)

3. Update ACLI
   • Ensure you're running the latest version:

   • Bash
     brew upgrade acli

4. Change Execution Directory & Check Permissions
   • Try running the command from your home folder, or fix ownership of the configuration folder:

   • Bash
     cd ~
     acli rovodev run
     
     # If permissions are still broken:
     sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.rovodev

Giving your terminal Full Disk Access (Step 1) resolves this exact PermissionError in almost all macOS cases!

For additional reference, you can check Apple’s official guide on Change Privacy & Security settings on Mac to see how Full Disk Access works.

Hope this helps!

Check the steps and permissions and I restarted the terminal and upgraded acli and it worked, Thanks, marking this as accepted answer
