error messages

Could not bind IPC socket

👆 i was getting that error message because my $USER could not write to the /tmp dir on macos which is a symlink to /private/tmp. i made the /private/tmp group writable for the wheel group.

socket files are something that aren't normally created with a CLI utility such as touch or mkdir from what i understand.
