Hi everyone, My name is Soumitra Dutta an entrepreneur & photographer. I’m running into a permission denied error in Linux and would really appreciate your suggestions on how to fix it.

TL;DR: You alter the permissions so that the message does not appear.
To be able to help you with that, some additional information would be useful.
Which flavour and version of Linux are you using? On mine, the command uname -a tells me Linux paul-RV415-RV515 5.15.0-177-generic
What command are you running that causes the problem? If a shell command line, show the whole command with all the options. If inside a script, show the script. If from a GUI app, describe the app and the action you are asking it to do.
The message should provide a filename that causes the issue. Track that down, and run ls -ld thatName, which will show the existing permissions. The issue could also relate to any of the directories containing that file (to any depth).
Fixing the permissions my not be the way forward. For example, the system may be preventing you from changing a file or a directory that you really should not be writing to.
