Can't run the program after installing from AUR - permissions denied

[assapir]

❯ /opt/whatsapp-nativefier/WhatsApp
zsh: permission denied: /opt/whatsapp-nativefier/WhatsApp

This doesn't seem to be related to WhatsApp only, but also happens when trying to use ms-outlook-nativefier

Update: it seems like the problem is that the containing folder (/opt/whatsapp-nativefier) is created with 0700 permissions instead of 0755?

same here, it says:

no root: zsh: permission denied: whatsapp-nativefier

this can be fixed giving user permisions to /opt/whatsapp-nativefier/ recursively

PE: $ sudo chmod 777 -R /opt/whatsapp-nativefier/
