TinyTeX on macOS: No More Messing with `/usr/local/bin` | /en/2026/03/tinytex-macos-path/

I'm having this issue with installing tinytex, found your blog here, made usr/bin/local unwritable again, and tried installing again. It gave me a pop up asking for permission to make it writable again. I followed along, and now I'm back to square one again:

The directory /usr/local/bin is not writable. I recommend that you make it writable. See rstudio/tinytex#24 for more info.

What's going on here?
