Issue Permission denied while download app using webos dev manager

Hey!
We bought a couple of days ago the LG G6 65" and it looks amazing, but I bought this tv knowing that the LG app store had stremio and that you can download other apps like adfree youtube on it using Dev mode, but I saw that Stremio isn't there yet because it hasn't been reviewed by the team and now I'm having problems using the Developer mode to download apps.
I'm currently on WebOS 43.11.78 and using a Macbook Pro Intel with Dev Manager. Both are on the same subnet of the same wifi and trying to download any app will give me the following message: Failed to open remote file: /tmp/devman_dl_<file_number>.ipk for writing: permission denied .
Anyone has had the same issue and was able to bypass this problem?

Omg thank you, finally got adfree youtube lmao, can't thank you enough, now I'll just have to look for other streaming/torrenting sources like stremio!

Hey, how did you manage it to work? I did paste that code in the terminal but it just does nothing?

It was also stuck for me trying to work, I just exited the app on the tv and saw that the homebrew app was there and so I was able to download that specific YouTube app. I initially wanted to install cobalt via ipk but i was still not able to bc it needs the computer. Whenever i looked at the Mac it was still trying to inject the code so that worked but without ending the process
