Our customer cannot run our installer on macOS, and gets the error:
Unable to initialize installer.
Is /tmp writable ?
They are having trouble changing the permissions on their /tmp directory to be writable. Is there any way to specify an alternate temp directory?
Thank you!
Hi Rose,
You can try setting BITROCK_TEMP_FOLDER environment variable with an alternative path before running the installer.
BITROCK_TEMP_FOLDER=/alternative/folder ./installbuilder.app/Content/MacOS/installbuilder.sh

Hello Michiel,
We tried this, and still got the error:
$ BITROCK_TEMP_FOLDER=~/tmp ./<installername>.app/Contents/MacOS/installbuilder.sh
Unable to initialize installer.
Is /tmp writable ?
We also tried exporting BITROCK_TEMP_FOLDER, and it still didn't work.
(Note that we intentionally set /tmp to not be writable to reproduce the issue our customer is seeing.)
Thank you!
Rose
