Hi everybody, I’m facing problems installing Ghost locally on my Mac using node. I know this problem has already been talked about in this forum, but I didn’t manage to use the solutions… It has been several days since I have this problem and I can’t find solutions on my own. I already looked in the forum and on the internet, the solutions I found didn’t work. I followed every steps mentionned here : [How to install Ghost locally on Mac, PC or Linux](https://ghost.org/docs/install/local/) This morning I installed yarn using Homebrew but I keep getting the same error messages when I try to install Ghost. **Here it is :** MacBook-Air-de-Clement:ghost Clement$ ghost install local ✔ Checking system Node.js version - found v14.17.0 ✔ Checking current folder permissions ✔ Checking memory availability ✔ Checking free space ✔ Checking for latest Ghost version ✔ Setting up install directory ✖ Downloading and installing Ghost v4.4.0 A ProcessError occurred.

The issue is that yarn (a package manager and dependency of Ghost) is unable to open a specific file - `EACCES: permission denied, open ‘/Users/Clement/.config/yarn` Try checking the permissions on the file and make make sure it’s readable ---

Hey @vikaspotluri123 Huge thanks for your answer. I had already try to check for the file but I couldn’t find it… Thanks to your answer I tried to look for it deeper. Ghost is now installed 🙂 Just in order to help somebody who might have the same problem in the future, here is what happened and what I did. 1. When looking for the file “/Users/Clement/.config/yarn” in Finder \> Go \> Go to folder, I had a message saying that the file didn’t exist. 2. The file is in fact hidden. In order to make hidden files appear in the finder, you have to run 2 commands in the Terminal : ```auto defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles true [Enter] killall Finder ``` 1. Click right on .config file and select “read the information” and from there you can change the permission on the file. * * * Thanks again for your help. ---

For Jino server restarting ‘ghost install’ several times worked. It’s may be somehow related to RAM limits.
