Hey @adam3,

Thanks for writing in and sharing your report - welcome to the community as well! Odd that you’ve hit a fatal error after updating, sorry you’re experiencing that! Follow the below steps and see if that helps get you back up and running properly:

Open Terminal.app on your mac
Type the following commands (don’t include the bullets) and hit enter after each command:

• cd /tmp
• sudo chown $(whoami) /tmp

You may be asked to enter your Mac password after that last command.

Hope this helps!
