Would you mind trying to run this within a VM or docker container? Although your file permissions look okay, this sort of issue is typically machine specific

You could also try opening the file with vim (e.g. vim .ticker.yaml) to see if a similar error is raised

Hi Ani, I am running this Ubuntu 20.04 VM on MS Hyper-V, on a Windows 10 workstation. I am able to edit the file without issue using Nano & VI. I tried this on a native Windows 10 workstation and it works as expected. I'm fine with that. I'm happy to continue troubleshooting if you want to find the root cause but for now I'll use Windows. Thanks.

I also had the same error on Ubuntu 18.04 using the snap package. Installing using the general Linux install instructions worked fine though.

I too used the Snap installer. I'll try again with a manual install. Thanks

Thanks @randlet and @tmack8080 that's a really useful detail. I'll have a look at the snap package and see what's wrong there

This was fixed in the latest release. See #148 which mentions the same issue.
