Permission denied (os error 13) [Linux]

If you are getting this error on Linux, it means you have some outdated files on your system that the Modrinth App is trying to access, but failing. Open your XDG data home (usually ~/.local/share/) and check to see if you have any of the following folders:

  • com.modrinth.theseus

  • ModrinthApp

  • modrinth-app

Make a backup of each. Then, delete them and try to see if it launches.

If you need help merging your backups into the newly generated folders, please open a support ticket and ask for a human.

Read-only file system (os error 30) [MacOS]

Typically, this issue appears soon after a Modrinth App update. Simply restarting your computer should fix this. If not, please open a ticket in the bottom-right for further assistance!
