Hello @James_England and welcome to the forum.

See here, maybe this helps you too:

Fatal Error - could not create required lock file

I found another post with the same error. I followed the instructions below in the Mac Terminal app and this cleared the issue: cd /tmp sudo chown $(whoami) /tmp you may have to enter your mac password after the last command. This worked for me.
