Fixing permission issues

In some situations, iStat Menus may not be able to install correctly, due to incorrect permissions on the LaunchAgents folder or Application Support folder.

This can be fixed by opening the Terminal app and running the relevant commands below (Terminal can be found in /Applications/Utilities/). Once you’ve done that, iStat Menus should be able to install correctly.

Fixing Application Support folder permissions #
