I’m trying to download Utop to use Ocaml with vscode for Mac. When I run opam install utop, I get this error.
Hello @Whitney_Schwitter,
I suspect that some of the packages installed via opam
were installed as superuser (running sudo opam install <package>
).
opam
is supposed to be used as a regular user (see opam - FAQ). To start again with a clean state, I suggest that you remove the directory ~/.opam
and then run opam init
. After that, just install whatever you want by running opam install <package>
.
Just keep in mind that to avoid getting in trouble with opam
, never run sudo opam <sub-command>
.
I hope this will help
