Description

When installing outside $HOME, the pkg installer installs as root. Constructor changes the ownership of the $PREFIX directory to $USER:

chown -R "$USER" "$PREFIX"

However, the installer creates additional files and directories outside of $PREFIX:

  • ${HOME}/.conda
  • All files and directories created by conda init, e.g., ${HOME}/.bash_profile or ${HOME}/.config/powershell

This PR fixes the ownership of those files and directories as well.

Checklist - did you ...

  • Add a file to the news directory (using the template) for the next release's release notes?
  • Add / update necessary tests?
  • Add / update outdated documentation?

# install location, the permissions will default to root unless this is done.

I think it might also leave a .condarc somewhere if the config file asked for that option. Should we add it here too? e.g.

Suggested change
chown -R "$USER" "${HOME}/.conda"
test -f "${HOME}/.condarc" && chown "$USER" "${HOME}/.condarc"

When I tested it, .condarc had the correct ownership, but better safe than sorry.

Awesome shell skills here! This script is called with sh though, so I think we need to either:

  • Change the shebang to bash
  • Make sure we only use strict POSIX (e.g. no [[ ]] ifs).

Doesn't sh link to bash on MacOS?

Even if it does, I think it's better to be explicit. I changed the shell to bash since that's what we're using in the other scripts as well.

Let's double check SH vs BASH vs POSIX for that nice chunk of shell code :)
