votes

I am trying to download Drupal using drush. I want to download it on my local apache server /Library/WebServer/Documents/localsite. I am running on OS X El Capitan.

I set all directiries to 755 permission only / (root folder - macintosh hd) not.

when I run:

drush dl drupal-7.x

I get this error: Directory / exists, but is not writable. Please check directory permissions. [error] Project drupal (7.x-dev) could not be downloaded to //drupal-7.x-dev.

It looks like you are trying to download the site files into your root directory Directory / exists, but is not writable. Please check directory permissions., that / usually means root directory.

Try cd /Library/WebServer/Documents/localsite then drush dl drupal-7.x.

Also, I'm not clear what this means "I set all directiries to 755 permission only / (root folder - macintosh hd) not." But I don't think setting all file permissions from root on down is a great idea.
