Im currently having this problem

FATAL: Error (Code = 153) executing in command 'ChmodCommand' for package: 'AdobePhotoshop20-Core', version:20.0.4.76

FATAL: Error occurred in install of package (Name: AdobePhotoshop20-Core Version: 20.0.4.76). Error code: '153'

I have deleted every Adobe product from my mac book and reloaded them again starting with creative cloud.

I then go to reinstall photoshop and it loads to 90 percent then I get the fatal error code

cgbeige,

you have a permission issue:
» Creative Cloud download and install errors

Error CodeDescriptionSolution
153, C153Unable to get permissions to a file or
folder on macOS.
Check permissions and try again. To get the information about
the file or folder, see More information.

You need to run the installer with full permission privileges.

Best Regards,

Maurice
