If you get the error message related to the AWS credential and config files,

Error: EACCES: permission denied, open ‘/Users/…/.aws/config’ or

Error: EACCES: permission denied, open ‘/Users/…/.aws/credentials’

  • Set the permission of the AWS config and credentials files to 744
sudo chmod 744 /Users/$USER/.aws/config
sudo chmod 744 /Users/$USER/.aws/credentials
