I am currently using Julia version 1.7.2. on macOS Monterey with an arm processor, When I tried updating to 1.8.3 via the UpdateJulia package I received the following permission error
/dev/disk4 GUID_partition_scheme
/dev/disk4s1 EFI
/dev/disk4s2 Apple_HFS /Volumes/Julia-1.8.3
"disk4" ejected.
ln: /usr/local/bin/julia: Permission denied

Just wondering if there was a quick fix to this and if it is recommended to update to 1.8 from 1.7? Any tips would be appreciated thanks!
