Chat GPT fixed the issue ended up checking the permissions for the directory with this command:
ls -l /home/trader/.lean/modules/
Said that permission was for root and not trader so I used this command to change it to the user called trader:
sudo chown -R trader:trader /home/trader/.lean/modules/

I'm glad to hear that you were able to resolve the issue, Nicholas! The commands you used are indeed the correct ones for checking the permissions of a directory (
ls -l) and for changing the ownership of a file or directory (sudo chown -R).Just to clarify for anyone else who might be reading:
ls -l /home/trader/.lean/modules/lists the files in the/home/trader/.lean/modules/directory in long format, which includes file permissions and ownership information.sudo chown -R trader:trader /home/trader/.lean/modules/changes the owner and group of the/home/trader/.lean/modules/directory (and all files and directories within it, due to the-Rflag for recursive) totrader.Remember to be careful when changing file or directory permissions and ownership, and only do so if you're sure it's safe and necessary.
