Permissions

(linux only) permissions on the following folders, as well as read and write permission on the files
in these folders:

How to do this for MacOS or Linux systems:

1. Login via ssh/terminal under privileged user, get sufficient access rights if necessary using
   sudo or su to make next changes
2. cd your_web_site_root
   For example: cd /var/www/prestashop

   For example: chmod -R u=rwX,g=rX app/code/local
4. chown -R : folder_name
   For example: chown --R apache:apache app/code/local

NOTE: This is a general approach. We would recommend that you ask your hosting administrator
to grant access permissions for the listed folders and files.
