This is a sometimes expressed bug in the mac installer. To fix, you could `chown` the `~/.juliapro/JuliaPro_v1.3.1-1/registries/JuliaPro/.git` folder to your user (it’ll probably be owned by root)

Sorry about that, it’ll be fixed by a new release soon. But for now, this workaround should be sufficient.
