Restlings panicked due to "Permission denied" after I launched it
Restlings panicked due to "Permission denied" after I launched it as below (I added RUST_BACKTRACE=full environment variable to display a backtrace):
thread 'main' panicked at src/tools/clippy/src/main.rs:139:10:
could not run cargo: Os { code: 13, kind: PermissionDenied, message: "Permission denied" }

This exercise compiles successfully. The remaining exercises contain a compiler
or logic error. The central concept behind Rustlings is to fix these errors and
solve the exercises. Good luck!

Also experiencing same. rustling init throw up this error.
This command will create the directory `rustlings/`which will contain the exercises.
Press ENTER to continue

The exercises/ directory couldn't be found in the current directory.
If you are just starting with Rustlings, run the command `rustlings init` to initialize it
```
Make sure that you are able to create files and directories in the directory where you try to initialize Rustlings. You seem to be missing the write permission in this directory. Try a different one.
Try running mkdir test, touch test.txt and ls -l before running rustlings init. What output do you get?
➜ test pwd
/Users/chaowan/test
➜ test ls -l
total 0
drwxr-xr-x@ 12 chaowan staff 384 Apr 30 11:38 rustlings
-rw-r--r-- 1 chaowan staff 0 Apr 30 11:37 test.txt
I have the write permission inside the directory, the error happens when I run rustlings inside rustlings directory and press ENTER I see that error:
thread 'main' panicked at src/tools/clippy/src/main.rs:139:10:
could not run cargo: Os { code: 13, kind: PermissionDenied, message: "Permission denied" }
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
above the welcome message.
Sorry, I forgot about this issue. Is it possible that you don't have Clippy installed?
If you still have this issue, please post the output of cargo clippy --version
