I’m trying to add Netlify Large Media on my site. When running the netlify lm:setup command I’m getting the following error:

  ✔ Checking Git version [2.36.0]
  ✔ Checking Git LFS version [3.3.0]
  ✔ Checking Git LFS filters
  ✖ Installing Netlify's Git Credential Helper for Mac OS X
    → Set the helper path in your environment PATH: /Users/rensvis/Library/Prefer

    Configuring Git to use Netlify's Git Credential Helper
 ›   Error: Unable to set credential helper in PATH. We don't how to set the path for sh shell.
Set the helper path in your environment PATH: /Users/rensvis/Library/Preferences/netlify/helper/bin

Any advice on how to resolve this?

I was able to fix my issue by following this solution:

So what I did was headed to the ~/Library/Preferences/netlify folder and opened the “get info” option. Then I manually added my user in the “Sharing and Permission” section, together with read & write beside my user. After that, reload the terminal and all’s good to go!
