Fix permissions in the Item Sets folders of the League of Legends game

Melchor Garau Madrigal edited this page Oct 30, 2016 · 1 revision

One common problem we, as macOS users, find is the incorrect permissions. This makes the apps to work incorrectly, the user cannot see, delete or modify files and folders, and lot of other issues. So, it's time to fix some permissions to make the LoL and LoL Item Sets app to work properly.

The better way to change permissions (I know) is using the Terminal, through commands. Don't scare, this page will tell how to do it correctly. But, before start, ensure you are logged in with an user with Administrator privileges.

First of all, (and of course) open the Terminal, either by searching on Spotlight or in the Launchpad, inside the folder Others (if is still there). It will open a window with a text like this (is an example):

Last Login: Sun Oct 30 10:27:11 on console
MBP-de-Melchor:~ melchor9000$

Well, it's time to be like the people in the 80's:

  1. Write cd (space included) and drag and drop the League of Legends app to the terminal, will fill the full path for you.
  2. Write cd Contents/LoL/Config, this will make your current path in the Terminal.
  3. This step could be a bit dangerous, so check if you put correctly the command. Type sudo chmod -R a+rwx Champions && sudo chmod -R g+rwx Champions && sudo chmod -R u+rwx. Will ask for your user's password, type it. The password won't show to you, and also appears to not be writing anything, but believe me, your are writing the password.
  4. Check if everything works fine with LoL Item Sets app and League Of Legends game.

If you cannot solve the permissions problems, you can always ask in Slack.
