PyCharm error: [Errno 13] Permission denied

Question

I am using PyCharm for executing my Python programs. Today, I had tried updating all the packages using Project Interpreter. I received the following error in the process:

error: [Errno 13] Permission denied

After which none of my Python libraries are shown in Project Interpreter list.

I am using PyCharm Community Edition 2016.2.3 in Mac OS X 10.11.6.

Solution

It looks like you need to give your interpretter root permissions. There is a tutorial here on how to do this
