Hi. I am trying to install racher (1.4.1) on my Mac (Intel chip with OS version; 11.3.1). And getting below error

I tried following https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/issues/1815. But in my case there was nothing at this path.

/private/var/run/rancher-desktop-lima

Hence I ran

sudo mkdir -m 775 /private/var/run/rancher-desktop-lima

But still getting same error.

Your problem is with the

/opt

directory being world-writable; try

sudo chmod 755 /opt

and see if that helps. Also verify that

/opt

is owned by

root

and not your own user.
