Permission denied when attempting to clone

[CBqk3762]

I want to install GKlib as it is listed as a dependency for Metis, I attempted to clone the repo with: gh repo clone KarypisLab/GKlib

which returned the following error: fatal: could not create work tree dir 'GKlib': Permission denied failed to run git: exit status 128

Is this intentional? Would it be possible to advise how to install Metis if I cannot use this repo?
