Butler permission denied

Hi all. 

I'm trying to install and use butler. I am on Mac and no matter how I try to trouble shoot I am getting "zsh: permission denied: butler". 

I've made sure to mark the file as executable and done a handful of other things chat gpt has told me to do like:

The extended attributes com.apple.macl and com.apple.provenance could potentially be causing the "permission denied" error. Let's remove these attributes to see if that resolves the issue.

Step 1: Remove the Extended Attributes

  1. Run the following commands to remove both extended attributes:
    bashCopy code
    xattr -d com.apple.macl ~/bin/butler xattr -d com.apple.provenance ~/bin/butler 
    

Step 2: Verify and Test

  1. After removing the attributes, verify that they are gone:
    bashCopy code
    xattr ~/bin/butler 
    

    If the command returns nothing, the attributes have been successfully removed.

  2. Now, try running butler again:
    bashCopy code
    ~/bin/butler
