How do I fix 'Failed to change file flags for ...' errors?

Question

I am trying to run the 3d Platform game tutorial but I have 45 errors in the console but I have no idea how to fix any of them.

the full error message reads.

Failed to change file flags for '/Volumes/Macintosh HD (c)/Applications/Unity/Unity.app/Contents/Resources/PackageManager/BuiltInPackages/com.unity.modules./physics/package.json.meta'.errno:13

I am running a Mac Pro (Mid 2010) 2 x 2.4 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon 11gb 1066 mhz DDR3 ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB

I am a first year student. Help

1> open terminal:

2> type command: cd /Applications/Unity/Unity.app/Contents/

3> Press Enter

4> type command: sudo chown -R $(whoami) Resources

5> Press Enter. It'll ask for your password. Enter the usual password you use when logging into your Mac

That's it.

Brilliant. I just had this error after upgrading 2018.2. That worked for me, saved me messing about finding a solution. You are the boss!
