Unable to install “IntelliJ IDEA CE”.

Answered

I am getting this error

 The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access “IntelliJ IDEA CE”.

Do you have an antivirus installed on your mac? 

Try reinstalling IDE via ToolBox: https://www.jetbrains.com/toolbox-app/

 I have Trend Micro Antivirus on my Mac

Please disable it, most probably it prevents IDE from start.

Trend Micro A/V disabled and still the same error. Note that I can install other apps without this error. I just installed Charles Proxy via .dmg file, no issues.

Also note I had previously installed IntelliJ but was having issues on start, so I uninstalled and now I am attempting to re-install.

I can't even install the app, so I can't launch the IDE either

I did mount the .dmg from the command line and attempted to copy "IntelliJ IDEA.app" to /Applications. _Most_ of the files were copied but 12 were not, each failed copy statement had the error message "Operation not permitted"

I have Full Disk Access assigned to the Terminal.app

I finally got IntelliJ installed via Toolbox after shutting down Trend A/V with

   sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.trendmicro.* /Library/LaunchAgents/com.trendmicro.*

Thank you for your help!
