Added alternative approach to using a terminal command by using use the folder Info dialog

	find "/Applications/National Instruments/LabVIEW 2024 64-bit" -type d -print0 \| sudo xargs -0 echo chmod o+w		find "/Applications/National Instruments/LabVIEW 2024 64-bit" -type d -print0 \| sudo xargs -0 echo chmod o+w
	</code>		</code>

			An alternative approach to using a terminal command is to use the folder Info dialog:

			# '''Navigate to the National Instruments folder:''' In Finder, go to Applications and locate the National Instruments folder. Right-click on it and select "Get Info" from the context menu.
			# '''Unlock the permissions:''' At the bottom of the Info window, click the lock icon. You'll be prompted to enter your administrator password to make changes.
			# '''Add your user account:''' In the "Sharing & Permissions" section, click the plus (+) button at the bottom left to add a new user. Select your user account from the list.
			# '''Set read & write privileges:''' Once your user is added, click on the "Privilege" dropdown next to your username and change it from "Read only" to "Read & Write".
			# '''Apply permissions to all enclosed items:''' Click the gear/action menu (⋯) at the bottom of the permissions section and select "Apply to enclosed items..." This ensures all subfolders and files within the National Instruments folder inherit these permissions.
			# '''Lock and close:''' Click the lock icon again to prevent further changes, then close the Info window. VIPM should now be able to install and uninstall LabVIEW packages without permission errors.
