Install error message

[BD Kim]

I (or rather the system administrator) have installed Sage on a Mac, and while trying to open Sage for the first time, I got this error message:

bdkim% '/Applications/SageMath-8.9.app/Contents/Resources/sage/sage' --notebook=sagenb

Rewriting paths for your new installation directory

===================================================

This might take a few minutes but only has to be done once.

patching /Applications/SageMath-8.9.app/Contents/Resources/sage/build/make/Makefile-auto

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/Applications/SageMath-8.9.app/Contents/Resources/sage/relocate-once.py", line 150, in <module>

  File "/Applications/SageMath-8.9.app/Contents/Resources/sage/relocate-once.py", line 103, in save

    with open(self.filename, 'wb') as f:

IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Applications/SageMath-8.9.app/Contents/Resources/sage/build/make/Makefile-auto'

Error running the script 'relocate-once.py'.

What does this mean?

Best,

The administrator needs to actually run Sage once, to complete the installation.
(the problem is that the 1st run does write things in Sage's
installation directory, and this cannot be done
by a unpriviliged user)

Thank you very much. I let the system administrator know.
