NativeScript 'Create' EACCES: permission denied on macOS - macos

Question

I'm new to Mac, to macOS development and to NativeScript.
I'm trying to start a new tns project using:
sudo tns create rsrpt --ng
and I get this error all the time:
Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/Users/myUser/code/rsrpt/hooks'
Out of frustration, after 10 hours, I ran the following commands:
sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.local
and even this: (I hope I didn't ruin permissions on this mac)
sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/
But nothing helped. I still get the attached detailed error. Any help on how to overcome this permission problem would be appreciated! Thanks!

### Options
* --path - Specifies the directory where you want to create the project, if different from the current directory. The directory must be empty.
* --appid - Sets the application identifier for your project.
* --template - Specifies a valid npm package which you want to use to create your project. If --template is not set, the NativeScript CLI creates the project from the default JavaScript hello-world template.
* --ng - Sets the template for your project to the Angular template.
* --tsc - Sets the template for your project to the TypeScript template.
### Attributes
* <App Name> is the name of project. The specified name must meet the requirements of all platforms that you want to target. For more information about the <App Name> requirements, run $ tns help create
* <App ID> is the application identifier for your project. It must be a domain name in reverse and must meet the requirements of all platforms that you want to target. If not specified, the application identifier is set to org.nativescript.<App name> For more information about the <App ID> requirements, run $ tns help create

Answer 1

Did you try “tns doctor”? I am not sure is it checking permissions or authority rules.
And did you try for another directory? Maybe you need to re-install complate(npm&nativescript)
