ERROR: stat: permission denied (EACCES) while trying to use a different package directory #30608
Description
I wish to use the package directory of one of my collaborators. I copied her .julia folder into my machine and followed the steps mentioned here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36398629/change-package-directory-in-julia.
Pkg.resolve() gave the following error :
ERROR: stat: permission denied (EACCES)
Stacktrace:

How do I fix this?
Thanks in advance!
P.S. I am running this on an institute cluster, in case that changes things.
