I can't upgrade IntelliJ any more, because it's trying to write to privileged file locations that I (the owner of the computer) no longer have access to. Believe me, I've tried to work around this, macOS has it locked down completely.
- mschuster91 6y agoYou can disable SIP in recovery mode.
- stephenr 6y ago... Can you elaborate? I use IntelliJ on a daily basis on Catalina, and I have zero issues updating it.
- ehutch79 6y agoWhy do you need access to the areas protected by SIP?
- commandlinefan 6y agoBeats me - it's a common problem, though: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40251201/upgrading-intellij-idea-after-sierra-upgrade-does-not-have-write-access-to-pri/41383566#41383566 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40251201/upgrading-intel.... The only thing that ever worked was uninstalling and reinstalling the whole thing.
- dfabulich 6y agoThe latest IntelliJ 2020.1.1 works out of the box on macOS 10.15.4, without disabling System Integrity Protection (SIP). Whatever problem you're having, it's a problem specific to your machine.
- tebruno99 6y agoI use and upgrade IntelliJ fine. Install Jetbrains Toolbox and everything is installed in your home dir. What kind of locations are you having troubles with?
- noworriesnate 6y agoI agree: use Jetbrains Toolbox. A few months ago I installed Rider (an IntelliJ-based IDE) on my Mac without toolbox, and upgrading it was a pain. I don't remember the details, but using JetBrains toolbox makes upgrading as simple as clicking a button and waiting until the download / install is complete.
